Fellow NJ Electricians welcome to the NEC 2020 LOL. For those of you that are on it. I just wanted to know how your AHJ is interpreting NEC 230.85.
First line states
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 readily accessible outdoor location.
So you are changing the service conductors NOW THEY MUST NOW terminate in the Emergency Disconnect. MY AHJ interpretation.
Comments please !!
- You are changing the frayed Service Cable on a existing Service. My AHJ requires you to add the Emergency Disconnect
- You are changing the meter socket. My AHJ requires you to add the Emergency Disconnect.
- Meter, service cable, and service panel, that's a no brainer. My AHJ requires you to add the Emergency Disconnect.
- ATS is easy , It must go outside and it becomes Emergency Disconnect and Service Disconnect.
