grouping of disconnects

[warriorelectrician]

can you group more than 6 disconnects together if there is a main breaker. If so what code is it? I need to group 7 and can't find the code anywhere.

A little more info would help.
Is the one Main the service eq??
Are the other 6 feeder disconnects see 230.71 for services or 225.33 for feeders

If you have a main disconnect, knock you socks off with any others. The limit refers to "service disconnects" 230.71.

[warriorelectrician]
