A church decided to install a new A/C system. The original setup was... 125A 120/240v breaker in the MDP in building A is feeding 125A breaker in a disconnect which is located in bldg B. It is approx. 400' away and the conductors are 1/0 TW.
The electricians for the A/C company disconnected the 1/0 conductors from the 125A breaker in bldg B. Installed a 3 port lugs on the end of the 1/0. They then used #4 thhn to reconnect the 125A breaker in the disconnect and #4 to tap of a new 30A fused disconnect for the new A/H.
The way I read the code, they should install a new disconnect before they start tapping of the feeder. Is that correct?
