A contractor on our site is wiring an office trailer complex (20 units). The A/C units are approx 8 - 10 feet above grade. The disconnecting means is a 2 pole circuit breaker in a power panel located 4 feet above grade. Reading the NEC definition of "Accessibility, Readily", it seems this is a violation. The A/C equipment will need temporary scaffolding erected everytime the A/C technician has to work on this equipment. We have asked for a permanent platform/deck to be fabricated to comply with this definition. The general contractor's response is, these are rental trailers & its not needed.
Is this installation "NEC compliant"?
