NEC 404.2(B) That pesky neutral controversy

[jar546]

Is it really a controversy?
See the picture above.
If you were handed an electrical drawing for a control box that you had to supply the line and load of the object in the picture above and the line side was for a single phase motor. Would you consider it a problem if you were required to use the device in question to disconnect both the hot and neutral?

As an inspector, would you question the switching of the neutral?

 

[ICE]

Now this might have been a trick question. You know, I'm not an electrician.

 

[jar546]

Any other takers? No commercial electrical guys here?

Actually, there are some pretty neat residential control systems that could have this same setup.

 

[Mr. Inspector]

I would need the manufacture directions of the breaker to know if it is allowed for this device.

 

[RJJ]

It is a tengen breaker may be an x-2 type. I most often see these for motor controls.
