A fused pull-out disconnect is permitted to be installed in which location?

• A. Napkin and tablecloth storage room in a restaurant
• B. Mechanical room in a college
• C. Coat closet in a house
• D. Any of these

Answer: (B)

The question tests where electrical equipment like a fused pull-out disconnect should be placed. Such a device needs to be in a location that is designed for electrical gear: readily accessible, with proper clearance and room for maintenance, and in an environment intended for housing equipment.

A mechanical room in a college fits this purpose. It’s a designated space for mechanical and electrical equipment, with appropriate access for authorized personnel, adequate ventilation, and the necessary clearances to service the disconnect safely. That makes it an approved location.

In contrast, a napkin and tablecloth storage room or a coat closet are general storage spaces. They aren’t designed for electrical distribution equipment, can become cluttered or blocked, and may present fire or accessibility hazards. They aren’t appropriate places for a fused pull-out disconnect.

So, the fused pull-out disconnect is permitted to be installed in a mechanical room in a college.
