Thanks for the reply Mike,
It's nice to see that I'm not carrying on about a moot point.
It just makes sence to have some means for disconnect on the outside or atleast in an enclosed switchgear room accessible from the outside.
In my area of the country, we have many manufacturing facilities where an outside disconnect would not only be handy but, could actually reduce the risk to those firemen who have enough to worry about while doing their job.
