240.81 refers to the indicating position of the breaker handle--UP is ON down is OFF.
When was 240.81 brought into the Code?
My reason for asking is a home inspector is identifying an "upside down" main breaker as a potential safety hazard in an older home. The panel is a Murray by Arrow Hart original to the house per the owner. She was unaware if it had ever been changed.
There is a bright orange sticker next to the main. It has off and on inthe correct position to correspond to the breaker:
OFF
MAIN
ON
I told her I don't see any violation because the panel would be grandfathered.
Thakns for your help.
BTW is there a website where I could find when the various additions and deletions to the NEC are listed?
