Outside Disconnect

Home Equipment List Indoor Equipment Outdoor Equipment Outside Disconnect Drawings Production


PG&E Requires a disconnect switch (they call it a Visible Lockable Disconnect - VLD) so that their line workers can be sure that our system won't be sending power down the line when they are working on it.  It's mounted right next to the main entrance panel.

Believe it or not, this was the part of the installation that worried me the most.  I had never worked with stucco before and I had visions of a big crack starting and running all the way up the wall.  Luckily I had lost of support at work from folks that had worked with stucco before and they quelled my fears.  It went without a hitch.

This is the inside of the wall where the VLD is mounted.  The hole that's patched up to the right gave me access to the top of the main entrance panel so I could run the power through the VLD.

I had to remove a cabinet to get access to the wall.  Now that the cabinet is back I only have to mud and tape a small little square.
