1.) Comment on Proposal No.: 4-55
2.) Recommendation: Accept the proposal in part by deleting all of 225.36 and it's exception.
3.) Substantiation: If the entire reason behind requiring a disconnect "suitable for use as service equipment" is indeed the regrounding provision in 250.32(B) as asserted by the submitter, then the reference to 250.32(B) should be deleted entirely. Rules for main bonding jumpers are located in 250.28 and we are permitted to make our own from the wire type. The language that remains after accepting this proposal doesn't really give us anything we can't use, short of a wire nut.
