Chapter 4 Equipment for General Use | 430.102(A) | An individual disconnecting means shall be provided for each motor controller and shall disconnect the motor controller. The disconnecting means shall be located in sight from the motor controller location. Exception No. 1: For motor circuits over 1000 volts, nominal, a motor controller disconnecting means lockable in accordance with 110.25 shall be permitted to be out of sight of the motor controller if the motor controller is marked with a label giving the location of the disconnecting means. Exception No. 2: A single disconnecting means shall be permitted for a group of coordinated motor controllers that drive several parts of a single machine or piece of apparatus. The disconnecting means shall be located in sight from the motor controllers, and both the disconnecting means and the motor controllers shall be located in sight from the machine or apparatus. Exception No. 3: The disconnecting means shall not be required to be in sight from valve actuator motor (VAM) assemblies containing the motor controller where such a location introduces additional or increased hazards to persons or property and the following conditions are met: (1) The valve actuator motor assembly is marked with a label giving the location of the disconnecting means. (2) The disconnecting means is lockable in accordance with 110.25. [430.102(A)](https://2023.antflix.net#430.102(A)) | https://2023.antflix.net#430.102(A) |
