Question:
Is it required in 2017 NEC to provide a disconnect means on the land at the entrance to a private pier or dock?
Rick Balson
A
Answer:
Hey Rick thanks for your question. You don't mention if there is any electrical equipment associated with the dock or pier but no there is no general rule for a disconnecting means. The scope of Article 555 changed for the 2017 edition and it now includes dwellings. There are some rules such as 555.7 and 555.17 that might help with your question and also possibly 682.11.
