600.6 Disconnects.
(A) Location.
(1) At Point of Entry to a Sign Enclosure.
The disconnect shall be located at the point the feeder circuit or branch circuit(s) supplying a sign or outline lighting system shall enter the disconnect and shall not enters a sign enclosure. and shall disconnect all wiring where it The disconnect shall open all ungrounded conductors before they enters the enclosure of the sign. [ROP 18?99]

Exception: A disconnect is not required for branch or feeder circuits passing through the sign where enclosed in a Chapter 3 listed raceway. [ROP 18?99]


5 Statement of Problem and Substantiation.

The above text is clearer and, I believe, matches the admirable intent of the original proposal. Note that the exception allows the feed to pass through the sign ONLY if it is completely enclosed in a raceway.
