> Bob, 

The problem with switching both conductors (in a normally grounded array) is 
that opening the disconnect removes the bond to ground. This takes the ground 
fault protection and detection system out of the scheme (which would at least 
have operated with the disconnect open on the normally ungrounded conductor). 

An inspector should appreciate the value of maintaining the functionality of 
the ground fault protection system. 690.13 makes this clear, by allowing the 
grounded conductor to be disconnected by service personnel.
