Follow up to 230.71 (B) Number of Disconnects and the new requirement for separation on multiple mains.

I’ve been getting a few calls lately about the new requirement for separation of mains when more than one main is supplied.  Yes they need to be separated and or separate, and grouped together, below you will see the old and new ways to comply with this requirement.  I’ve also seen a bar that can be installed across two mains in a meter main combo to make it comply with 230.71(A) for a single means of disconnect.image

Also good news from Boca Raton they no longer require Arc Fault breakers to be installed when doing a service change or panel changeout.  Thanks goes to Mike the Building Official for Boca.

That’s all I got for this week.

Be safe work safe.
