Denray Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Is it OK for there to be more than 6 breakers to flip at a condo sub panel when there is no disconnect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 You don't need a main disconnect on a sub panel unless it's in a building separate from the main building AND has more than 6 branch/feeder breakers in it, AFAIK Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Port Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 The disconnect will typically be near the meters for a condo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 The disconnect will typically be near the meters for a condo. That is the answer to the question. Yes there is so a disconnect. In the case of an emergency, all the subs can be turned off at the meter cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Port Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 It has more to do with the code requirement to keep the unfused service cables as short as possible. After an disconnect with OCP is provided the cables can be as long as needed to run to each unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
