Any problem with putting switches for turning evaps on/off on the side of a panel. Feed from breaker to 4S switch box, then load back into and through panel to conduit feeding evap on roof. As long as, 312.8 isn't violated?

Are you mounting the 4" sq to the panel itself?

Nope. Figured using appropriate sized off-set nipple for the conductors.

TIA for all the feed-back. Been awake for two days with 3 hours sleep. Gonna get good nights sleep and be (hopefully) a little more clear thinking tomorrow.

Why put switches when you can just turn the breakers off here. This is not the service disconnect of course.

Why even add a switch? just use the breaker, Or are you worried about every breaker being turned off... :grin:

Don't want the employees opening the panels. Bunch of tards! :grin:

Seriously, I think it's because the IT aircons are in the same panels. Don't want no steenkeeng mistakes. Hmmm . . . wonder what would happen if IT room was at 100?+ for the whole weekend.

those little screw on breaker handle tamper locks are pretty cheap insurance for stuff like that.

Thought all breakers made today were SWD rated.

SWD is a rating that is only available on 15A and 20A 1-pole 120V or 277V breakers. SWD has pretty much been a no cost standard from major manufacturers for several decades.

HID is a switching rating available on larger ampacity and multi-pole breakers. HID rated breakers are usually higher priced.
