was thinking...
When wiring an ac, lets say you can use 12's and put them on a 40 amp breaker.
Would the non fused disconnect at the ac unit have to be rated for 40 amps.. or what ever the 12's would be rated for (25-30).
same question for motor... when going 250%... and using a smaller gauge wire with a larger breaker would the disconnect ( switch,receptacle) be rated for the wire gauge or the breaker(circuit)size.
I'm thinkink the disconnect would need to be the same rating as the circuit, not the wire... but checking.
Thank you
