Please clarify for me if the disconnecting means provided by individual manual motor starters (MMS) that are enclosed in an industrial control panel (with main disconnect) meets this the intent of 430.102 whenever the control panel is in direct site of where the fan motors are located.
Would any additional warning labels or guarding (plastic covers over fuseblocks & power distribution blocks) be required?
NEC 430.102B:
B) Motor. A disconnecting means shall be provided for a motor in accordance with (B)(1) or (B)(2).
(1) Separate Motor Disconnect. A disconnecting means for the motor shall be located in sight from the motor location and the driven machinery location.
(2) Controller Disconnect. The controller disconnecting means required in accordance with 430.102(A) shall be permitted to serve as the disconnecting means for the motor if it is in sight from the motor location and the driven machinery location.
