Re: disco for detached garage

Guys , Even though I disagree that 6 breakers in a panel would be code compliant , even if it was code compliant your panel would have to be suitable for use as service equipment.Art 225.36

Donnie do you agree that six throws of the hand are allowed for the service disconnect of a buildings service from the POCO?

I see this a lot to save money on 480 volt GFP breakers.

Come from a pad mount transformer to switch gear with no main but 3, 4, 5 or 6 breakers each rated less than 1000 amps.

Now when you turn all these breakers off the switch gear is still hot unless the POCO pulls the cut outs.

Donnie, I don't think anyone would argue that 225.36 would apply.

Now, as Bob says 225.33 is the key.

225.33 references 225.30 which is a prerequisite for 225.31, which is a prerequisite for 225.32, which is a prerequisite for and brings us back to 225.33.
