Number of Supplies & Max Number of Disconnects

[ptonsparky]

I have an outside feeder going to one location with a total of eight pump panels. All SUSE and all are outside. Six involved in one process are hard wired. (Arguably one structure.) Two in another process serve cord & plug connected equipment because they are movable and temporary in nature. The customer wants to add a third seasonal cord and plug connected piece of equipment. (30 HP)

Do I, somehow, need to reduce the # of disconnects? Options?

There is just (1) feeder ??

Yes.

It seems to be somewhat commonplace in many industrial settings I've viewed and someone may see an exception I don't, but it appears to be a violation if 225.33

If there's a fire rated wall, technically, 6 disconnects on either side of the separation correct?

That would make it different locations.

Now I'm curious..
If you have 1 structure split down the middle (with appropriate fire rated separation) it would be classified as 2 buildings, allowing for 6disconnects+6 disconnects=12 disconnects.

Say you have 1 building and you need up to 12 disconnects. Could you build a 5Wx5Lx9H attached space on the end of the building (building is defined as enclosed space with roof and walls). Make sure fire separation is in place on the 1 joining wall?

I wouldn't even need fire separation if I could declare it two locations. They are outside, four inches separation, side by side. My plans had been 6, then two at about 20' from there. Guys modified it. Better, other than the 6 disconnect issue.
