but lets say, in this instance you have a open garage where semi's can pull up to and pulg in their refrigeration units into a disconnect which is located just inside an overhang protecting it from rain. But if the wind blow, the disco could get drenched. Does the nec specify exact what outdoors is. What would you install in this location. If I have already purchased a nema 1 for this location, am I not in compliance with nec. Can I get away with the nema 1? Does the nec address this?
