A
Answer:
Hello Paul,
Panelboards can be installed and used as service equipment if identified for that use. The identification is typically along the lines of "This panelboard is suitable for use as service equipment when equipped with a service disconnect (main) or not more than six switches or circuit breakers installed. See NEC Sections 408.3(C), 230.66(A) and Part VI of Article 230 for the requirements for service equipment and service disconnects.
