Need some help here. Can a disconnect for and air conditioner be used as a feed through for a branch circuit for a receptacle that is required by section 210.63. I cant seem to find a reason why it wouldn't be acceptable in the 2005 unless the disconnect mfg. specifically says it is not listed for that purpose.

Most likely yes, see 312.8.

Some AC disconnects have a 120 v outlet built in the same box. Under the same cover. Of course they're listed for that purpose.

Those convenience outlets are derived from a transformer, not tapped from the incoming line.

Some are. Some require a separate 120V circuit.

I have never seen a disconnect with a built in transformer for the receptacle. I have installed many disconnects that have a built in GFCI receptacle but it requires a separate circuit be pulled to supply it.
