Hi all,
I have a 400 amp disconnect switch that will tap off from a distribution board whose main bus is rated 1600 amps. the problem is, the switch won't fit inside the electrical room where the distribution board is. And I have to follow the 10 foot tap rule. Am I allowed to place the 400 amp switch outside the room? (outside the room is a huge parking garage, there is room for it) or does the switch need to be within sight of the tap?
