I have a question:

What's holding this on the wall? We can see most of the mounting holes and they aren't used.

Was it shot into the block? (upper rt. side hole), is that a legit way of mounting this?

Bill — If the green, floor-standing box on the right is a dry-type, any idea of kVA and winding voltages?

Bjarney,

These are Joe T's pictures, I don't have any more information on them.

He just sent in another closeup that seems to show that this was 'shot' onto the wall. It looks like 2 shots showing in this picture: (sloppy red arrows are mine )



Is this a valid method for mounting a switch like this??

THe mounting method is debatable. Is an air space required behind the disco? Should a back board have been installed? Hard to say without knowing the installation. "Shot" mounting is not a normal method for discos, etc., around here. If the disco is securely mounted, then it should be acceptable.

BTW, the neutral is landed on a neutral block at the lower left corner, behind the "insulator" fiber thing. You can see the lugs in the third pic.

Picture 3 was not posted when I made my comments.

John,

This situation is a bit different with nipples on the left and bottom (supposedly secure to adjacent equipment) But, in general, I don't think I'd trust shots to hold a big disconnect on a block wall. (unless it's never going to be used )
