Does the NEC/UL permit a timeclock to be used as a means of disconnect, such as at pools?

If a toggle ahead of the timer, yes. As part of the timer, no (unless the switch is marked for use as a disconnect.)jwelectric said:What if the timer has an off toggle switch?

Remember, though, that the timer motor is still energized during a manual off. That it can turn back on at an inopportune moment would be my concern. Locking out is a must.iwire said:Usually they are indicating (marked on and off) and can disconect the ungrounded conductors.
The thing is, though, no means of locking out is required. Only a disconnect.LarryFine said:Remember, though, that the timer motor is still energized during a manual off. That it can turn back on at an inopportune moment would be my concern. Locking out is a must.
No, but I would be willing to bet the bank on "disconnecting."celtic said:I recall reading something about disconnects and their intended purpose....does this ring a bell with anyone?
