A transformer is feeding a 120/240VAC-1PH-3W panelboard.
The transformer is 2FT mounted to the left with more than the 30in width required for work space.
The electrician mounted a fused disconnect between the load side of the transformer and the panelboard.
He mounted this disconnect directly below and nippled to the bottom of the panelboard. As if to bottom feed it. The disconnect is the same depth as the panelboard and the only thing that sticks out past the face of the panelboard is the handle of the disconnect.
#1. Is this okay for an installation?
#2. Does the panelboard have to be designed for bottom-feed?
