Randall;
Actually, I am quite busy on the job trying to figure out if the exterior existing lighting at 120v can be adapted to the new lighting circuit of 208v, and the possibilities of the doing so might be possible using the existing multi-tap ballast in the lamps of the existing yard lighting. I can drive a 16penny nail in three shots with a 12oz. hammer. ha. ha. You try it. Marcel </IMG></IMG></IMG> LEED Green Associates InachiAwardsPortal: Inachi US Member of the Year Award 2009 |

The answer is D ( if you did not already figure that )
230.70(C) (C) Suitable for Use. Each service disconnecting means shall be suitable for the prevailing conditions. Service equipment installed in hazardous (classified) locations shall comply with the requirements of Articles 500 through 517. Paul W.

lol...actually it gets quite tricky...since most service disconnects are dry locations...BUT not all are wet location units and most certainly not all are hazardous location worthy...so the answer ends up being ( and funny enough the code says it just that way ) the service disconnect must be rated really for the environment it is going to be placed in....
Believe it or not...I felt that was one of my better questions... Paul W.
