The 2005 NEC, Article 422.30, states that a means shall be provided to disconnect all ungrounded conductors from permanently connected appliances.
My new, yet to be installed dishwasher, has a 6.6A motor and a it provides a total load of 11.5 amps. The dishwasher has a START button, but no STOP button. It's electrical connection is designed for a permanent wiring connection. My service panel is not within sight of the dishwasher and has no provision to allow the locking of the dishwasher circuit breaker in the open position.
Is article 422.30 saying that I have to install a disconnecting means (switch)somewhere within the kitchen? Do the control switches on my permanently connected range satisfy the requirement to disconnect all ungrounded conductors?
