Section/Paragraph: 555.2 Marine Power Outlet

Deleted Text

555.2 Definitions.
Marine Power Outlet. An enclosed assembly that can include equipment such as receptacles, circuit breakers, fused switches, fuses, a watt-hour meter(s), panelboards, and monitoring means approved for marine use.

Substantiation

The article 'a' appears to be simple typo.
NFPA 303 Fire Protection Standard for Marinas and Boatyards states:
5.10.1 Overcurrent protection for feeders or branch circuits as required by [NEC] shall be provided by the use of circuits breakers.
If accepted, my submission "555.3_all_GFI" would preclude the presence if service conductors connected directly to a Marine Power Outlet since they would not be GFI protected.
These two rules would appear to preclude the use of fuses in a Marine Power Outlet and no fuses implies no fused disconnects.
