Considering NEC 2020 requirements, Siemens has updated the Uni-Pak multi-family metering portfolio. Overall, the changes to the NEC are aimed at improving safety and clarity for those working with service disconnecting means. The new requirements for grouped disconnects are intended to help ensure that these important safety features are properly installed and easily accessible when needed in order to be safely operated.
Code section and new features:
• Section 230.62 – Line terminal barriers
• Section 230.71 – Separate compartments for disconnects
• Section 230.82 – Emergency disconnect labeling (included in carton)
