AC Connection at Fused Disconnect [RE-wrenches]

[Mark Frye]

Allen,

Thanks for sending me the article the other day. I read it carefully.

As I mentioned, John does not specifically address the issue of a LOAD side
connection with a fused disconnect.

I am in the process of communicating with him about this to clarify his
understanding of the issue.

There seems to be some confusion between doing a LOAD side tap (690.64(B))
and doing a SUPPLY side tap where the OCP has to be within the service
equipment itself or adjacent to the service equipment (690.64(A) referencing
230.82(6) leading to 230.91).

My permit went in for review today and I am waiting to hear what the plan
checker says.

Mark,
It seems to me that this is the perfect situation for you to use John Wiles'
work. He has written that it is acceptable. He has published this as a lead
article in the September-October IAEI (International Association of
Electrical Inspectors, I think) journal. The article can be readily
downloaded as a .pdf file. He heads the Code revision panel for PV. If you
can't convince your local AHJ that it's legal with all this ammunition, you
must have forgotten the doughnuts.

Just to make it overkill, I'm sending you the .pdf article offlist. Anyone
else, it can be found via links at http://www.NMSU.Edu/~tdi.

Allan
