Renron Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Anybody ever see this b4? I inspected a condo unit with a subpanel for that unit#, sloppy but aok seperate ground bus and all. But to shut the panel down completely it took more than 6 hand movements, too many. The main breaker (single throw) was at the end of the building complex ~65yards away. How should I call that? Open for opinions..... Thanks Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hi, It is not an issue. I see it all the time. The rule counts at the main disconnect only - not at a sub-panel. However, the occupant must have free access to the main disconnect and must keep the key where it is readily available if he/she has padlocked it. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Richard Moore Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Ron... Only rhe service disconnect is required to have 6 or less throws. What you are describing is perfectly normal for a condo disribution panel. In other words...nothing to call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
