I see oversize fuses in discos with correct cbs in the panel; I see oversized cbs, and correct fuses in the disco, and I see non-fused discos with the proper cb in the panel.

All of the above are compliant, as long as it matches the mfg label.




Exactly. And very few installers understand this. One more I will add is the disconnect directly tapped from the load side of the main service with with properly sized fuses at the disco, and a code compliant tap in the service panel. I recently had a home inspector tell a HO this was so dangerous it should be de-energized immediately because the #8 THWN's could start a fire (in the conduit) from getting 125 amps pushed thru them.
