Hello Richard, This is rather arbitrary article. It's location must be
- easy accessible, in such a way that any service operator does not get tempted not to disconnect the equipment when servicing because of any reason. - nor to make a misjudgment into what switch is operated (if multiple) - should disconnect all phases + neutral (not ground) at once. - should net give any confusion about on or off state If you can justify all this , for yourself, and others, it's OK Ask your secretary, your wife, your hairdresser. If they know how to disconnect the equipment it's probably OK. Be conservative, Murphy is around especially near disconnect switches.
