Requirements for AC Disconnect
I need to install a new disconnect for my residential AC condenser unit. I'm installing a 30A fusible pullout disconnect. The old disconnect is located behind the unit, which I don't believe is legal.
My understanding is that I need 36" clearance in the front and 30" side clearance (15" on each side). Is this correct? Also, is an outlet required for servicing the unit?

NEC Art. 210.63 requires a receptacle outlet for the servicing of heating , A.C., and refrigeration equiptments , but that's , as regards your situation, a "new installation" requirement, but it would be in your best interest to provide such receptacle.
