I’m planning to run power from a residence to a new detached garage for a door opener, lights and a few outlets for small power tools. I’m going to run one 20 amp multiwire branch circuit and run all 20 amp NM cable inside the garage. The branch circuit feeding the building will be 12-3 UF installed in conduit.
My question is about the disconnect. I will use a two pole 20 amp snap switch. Does the disconnect have a location requirement? There will be an underground conduit run to the building but it will not enter the building near an entrance. Does the disconnect need to be near the entry door? Can it be located inside or outside the building?
