I recently ran a 20 amp multiwire branch circuit out to a detached garage and used a nonfused 30 amp rated disconnect.
The inspector failed the installation citing 225.36 and said that it needed to be service entrance rated, my thoughts are if the exception to that article allowed me to use a 2 pole switch as a disconnect to disconnect the mwbc then surely a disconnect with heavy copper blades would be ok.
I ended up taking out the disconnect and installing a switch to pass inspection but was thinking that it didnt make sense, has anyone else come across this kind of thing?
