[fmtjfw]

I'm looking for constructive criticism on the following, and if you think it is merited, support in the form of comments from you on 1-130. Thanks, Jim Williams

Revise text to read as follows:

110.25 Lockable Disconnecting Means. Where a disconnecting means is required to be lockable open, elsewhere in this Code, it shall be capable of being locked in the open position. T the provisions for locking shall remain in place with or without the lock installed.

red indicated deleted text

5 Statement of Problem and Substantiation:

The deleted phrase is redundant and adds nothing to the section. Requiring something to be capable of meeting the requirement is overkill.

I'd actually prefer it to be written something like the following:

110.25 Lockable Disconnecting Means. Where a disconnecting means is required to be lockable in the open position, and the lock is not a permanent feature of the disconnecting means, the disconnecting means shall have permanent provisions for applying a removable lock.
