Have been struggling for the past couple of weeks regarding the above topic, and have perused many websites, and even have found several articles and websites that seem to support an installation like this - where the disconnects are located in the panels inside of each the tenant's space and not immediately below the Meters outside or (grouped, per se).
(Please note that the photo installation is only an example of what is intended to be done...if there are any other violations, it is an existing retail center across the street from our project....not of issue, per se - because it's not actually our project...)
Just Happened upon an article written by Mike Holt that appeared to discuss this topic, as well...but still doesn't quite match this situation.
Would love to have Mike's (and/or team/forum members' interpretation of this topic) our building owner is getting terribly antsy, and the local inspector seems to feel that this installation should be ok, but then seems to become less comfortable, and has now asked us to get approval from the Fire Marshal prior to proceeding with an installation similar to above.
In past instances, I had gathered details from the NEC Handbook to try to help make this case, but it does not seem to be working in this situation - probably because what seems "clear" to me in one instance becomes unclear the next time I try to respond to an inspector or reviewer's request...
Would love to have input at your earliest convenience!
Thank you so much!
