I have had issues with a colleague for some time now and just wanted to be sure in correct. When nameplate rating on a AC unit stipulates "max fuse or breaker" my "friend" contends that you do not need fused disconnects on a AC if using HACR breaker, since most AC units have internal fuses for motor protection. My way of thinking is that the HACR rating is just the Duty rating on the breaker and the HACR stands for ?heating, air conditioning, refrigeration?. And you still need to install the fuses. and that the "or" does not mean on or another. I tell him that he has been of the field too long and is starting to forget (and he's getting old as well) But I think its mainly because hes just a hack !
