What is a exterior electrical disconnect?
It is a small metal box close to an outside air or heat conditioning system that supplies the supply voltage to that unit. Inside that box is a pullout removable contact to remove the connections for servicing or other problems.
How far away should the disconnect for an air conditioner condensing unit be?
The IRC states that an AC unit should have "A readly accessable disconnect within sight from unit as the only allowable means".
Electrical equipment PAT?
Portable appliance testing (PAT) is basically a method of testing (using a device and by sight) that any electrical equipment, cables, devices, machinery is safe to use.
How do you access the wiring in a recessed light?
There will always be a way to dismount the fixture. Look for some screws, they are usually hidden from sight.
Is a single pole switch considered a disconnecting means?
Yes, if the switch is sufficient for the circuit requirements and it is installed in sight of and within 50 feet of what it disconnects.
Exterior electrical disconnect is required in sight of what?
It is usually expressed the other way around. The electrical disconnect has to be within 20 feet and line of sight of the equipment you are working on.
When inspecting an air conditioner in many areas an exterior electrical disconnect is required in sight of the?
condensing unit, elecric panel, electrical service enterance, grounding rod
When inexpecting an air conditioner an electrical disconnect is required in sight of the grounding rod?
No. The service disconnect must be within sight or within 25 ft. of the AC motor.
When inspecting an air conditionerin many areas an exterior electrical disconnect is required in sight of the A condensing unit B electrical panel C electrical service entrance D grounding rod?
D, In California an unfused disconnect switch shall be installed within sight of any grounding rod as per NEC code for the following reasons: A) To definatively locate the grounding rod, B) To allow for service including troubleshooting, removal for cleaning and/or replacement of a defective grounding rod during periods of unstable atmospheric activity.
An air conditioner should have an exterior disconnect located where?
The definative answer to this question should be located in the NEC, but I would say within sight and reach of the condensing unit.
What is a exterior electrical disconnect?

When is a motor disconnect required?
An electrical disconnect has to be within 20 feet and line of sight of the equipment you are working on. This electrical rule was brought about because most times the distribution motor starter is in another part of a building in an electrical room. If you can not see that the motor starter is locked out or it is more that 20 feet distance from the motor an isolation switch has to be added to the circuit at the motor. This allows anyone working on the motor to lock it out near the motor. If the motor starter does not get locked out and inadvertently starts automatically, the local isolation switch will stop the current flow and provide a safety factor to the person working on the motor.
What describes the term in sight from?
At Sight Means, "As soon as seen, or presented to sight, esp. payable at sight, to shoot a person at sight.".
What systems sends out electrical signals in response to sight or sound?
nervous system
How do you find the dimension of a building?
You measure them, using a laser sight, if required.
How far away should the disconnect for an air conditioner condensing unit be?
The IRC states that an AC unit should have "A readly accessable disconnect within sight from unit as the only allowable means".
