I understand the "morale of the story "

230.92 basicaly tells us it is allowable to lock the service disconnect with exceptions. If locked or sealed or not accessable to tenants, than branch circuit overprotection is required to be accessable to tenant. Very coomon. Electric room with all tenant service equip and meters....LOCKED but tenants have branch circuit panel in suites or apts.

Am I interpreting this right?

I dont see anything in 230.72 about locking the service disconnect. It s talking about accessability to tenants. Says NOTHING about being allowed to LOCK service disconnect
