Hello,
Have a small storage shed abutting a dwelling, about 1" in-between the two. Currently there is a 8" sleeve/conduit running between the dwelling and shed (through brick). A single 20A branch circuit would be routed to the shed, and the entry point is at the back of the shed, between some built in shelves, about 24-30" from an exterior wall. That wasn't a good choice, but it is now there.
2017 NEC:
Would inspectors generally flag or consider it acceptable for the disconnect to be located on the exterior of the shed, which would mean about 30" from the point of entrance of the conductors into the shed, provided the NM is guarded sufficiently by 2x4's (or if needed, a conduit sleeve)?
Thanks!
