We're installing a 400 amp duct heater in an already overcrowded mechanical room. The heater control panel did not come with its own means of disconnect which means I have to install a disconnect as the Electrical distribution room is hundreds of feet away.
The electrical engineer claims I don't have to install the disconnect within sight of the unit as long as it has a lockout capability.
I disagree. I'm claiming the disconnect needs to be within sight of the heater control cabinet.
Are there exemptions to this code requirement that I'm unaware of?
thanks for any help you can provide.
