disconnecting means from building

[gserve]

Is there a requirement in the code like in article 550 that addresses a maximum distance from the building to have a disconnect? I would like to have a pole mounted service and then feed the building which is 200' away there will be a main breaker in the panel closet to the point of entrance inside the building. Basically service on pole and feeder to building, service at building treated as sub-panel with isolated neutral,4 wire and also a GES. Or in other words how far can the service disconnecting means be from the building

Could this building fall under the scope of ARTICLE 547 Agricultural Buildings?

Re: disconnecting means from building

You are confussing two different things. One is the "Service Disconnect" and the second is a "disconnecting means suitable for service equipment".
In your scenario, there is no limit to the distance of the feeder. Of cource, all other code requirements still need to be considered once the feeder reaches the second "structure".
