Correct answer to question 2022
- B: In separate enclosures or separate compartments, grouped at one location
Explanation
Beginning with the 2020 edition, the two to six disconnects must be in separate enclosures, panelboards with a main in each, separate switchboard sections or separate compartments of switchgear or metering centers. The old practice of up to six breakers in one enclosure without a main is no longer allowed. See 230.71(B).
