Emergency disconnect for detached garage?

[ritelec]

Hi. NJ has just adopted 2020 NEC and I’ve yet to get a book.

When installing a panel in s detached garage is a emergency disconnect required on the exterior or is it ok to put a main lug panel at the point of entry?

If the emergency disconnect is required outside can a main lug panel be installed inside. Also in this case where would the ground rods go to, the emergency disconnect or the panel?
Thank you

Is the garage fed by service conductors or a feeder?

Corrected. Lug to panel



Detached garage fed from feeder

The emergency disconnect is only required for 1 and 2 family dwellings not a garage.

230.85 Emergency Disconnects.
For one- and two-family dwelling units, all service conductors shall terminate in disconnecting means having a short-circuit current rating equal to or greater than the available fault current, installed in a readilyaccessible outdoor location.

The detached garage still needs a main disconnect either outside or nearest entry inside.

I would think to put a main breaker panel in at nearest entry inside
But let’s say someone felt compelled to put the disconnect outside and a main lug inside, which enclosure would get the ground rods.
