Re: [RE-wrenches] Source Circuit Disconnect - 690.14 (C)(1)

Hi Bill, So Funny I had assumed Carl had placed a disconnect in the attic so i stated the obvious art 110 reference. Ive taken this type of installation to the extreme in this past in a new construction situation. I surrounded emt in 3" of concrete from roof entry to basement. My Opinion, get ready

Carl, Pat, I guess I'm somewhere in between. We have /alway/s installed a touchsafe/fused disco on the roof adjacent to the array, no matter how many strings and dive into the attic (if there is one) from there. I don't think I've ever put a disco in the attic, the roof seems more a

Re: [RE-wrenches] Source Circuit Disconnect - 690.14 (C)(1)

Hi Carl, I've moved away from this type of installation since alot of the inspectors in this area just don't like it. I avoid getting into "code confrontations" with them and prefer to impress them rather than depress them. Have you looked at article 110 regarding working clearances? Also I've cons

Hi Carl, Given that you are using SE equipment. I'm guessing that locking out the DC disco or AC side to shut the array down wasn't an option the inspector wanted? I thought that is one of the reasons for using SE? Jay Peltz power. > On Jan 4, 2016, at 7:58 AM, Carl Adams wrote: > > Fel
