Oh G-d.
Seriously?
You are "
reviving this issue"?
:lol:
The only indisputably applicable rules are in 705. The 10' rule, I believe, was added to the 2014 code. (I don't have the book handy at the moment.) If you are on a previous code there is no such rule, AFAIK.
As far as the tap rules in 240.21(B), they apply only to the load side of the service disconnecting means. The definition of a Tap Conductor in 240.2 applies only to Article 240. The use of the word 'tap' in any other article should not be construed as applying the rules in 240.21(B) unless that section is explicitly invoked.
So now...
Are they service conductors or merely inverter output conductors? :slaphead:
I will try to abstain from the discussion this time...
