I don't get it either, but I'm trying to use common sense, which is outlawed in this country.

Yeah, I agree, want to invent some 3r breakers change the code to our favor and make millions?

Sure, they already invented "WR" receptacles, why not? :roll:

But NM run into the back of a disconnect cannot? Thats kinda where I got lost.

NM going to a light with a jb recessed in the siding is still in the interior. NM going to a surface mounted disco is considered outdoors. If you believe that nm is not allowed in conduit on the surface of the building then why would this be any different.

I think inspectors, at least around here, see it as an okay install-- I am not sure the 08 agrees.

Because it is treated differently. Take a look at 2008 300.9, it applies only to raceways, not enclosures.


If we say the inside of a disconnect switch is a wet location then you can not install any fuses in that disconnect as there are no wet location fuses.

That sounds a lot like an opinion and one that not all inspectors will agree with.
