Condenser Unit Disc.

[POWER_PIG]

Can anyone help me out finding where in the 2005 NEC states that a disconnect for an outdoor A/C unit must be within site of the unit and not more than 50 feet away?
Or maybe Im mistaken?

Art. 100 definitions will give you this

In Sight From (Within Sight From, Within Sight). Where this Code specifies that one equipment shall be ?in sight from,? ?within sight from,? or ?within sight of,? and so forth, another equipment, the specified equipment is to be visible and not more than 15 m (50 ft) distant from the other.

it'd sure make it nice though for us plugging in our vacuum pumps, leak detectors, shop vac's and the like. just my 10 cents.
