What is the correct usage for this section of the NEC; my co-workers are labeling everyhing outside of a MCC Enclosure as a supplemental disconnecting means and I think this is an incorrect use of this section. According to our in-house code expert, he has determined that because it says it does not need to be readily accessible that there is no height limit nor is there a clearance requirement, is this true, I have never heard of such an interpertation. Please give me your views, I personally think it is in regards to equipment such as HVAC Units with breakers enclosed as part of the system and items similar, I do not feel it was intended that all devices such as disconnects located at motors be labeled as supplemental and not subject to clearance issues.
