  1. Can anyone tell me if there's a rule in NFPA79 consistent with UL508A 60.1. Basically 60.1 states that a main disconnect is not required in an industrial control panel IF the size and type of protection are and clearly stated and that a disconnect is required by the installer, noted on the electrical drawings.
  2. I have a question regarding the need for a control power transformer in a control panel. I have a 230VAC 3 phase control panel that I'm designing. I need 110VAC in that panel for various items. Is there any reason why I can't pull the 110VAC directly from one of phases on the distribution block (fuse it of course) and the neutral side from the neutral distribution block rather than installing a control power transformer? I've seen other designs where  in  similar cases a control transformer (230VAC to 110VAC) was used. Does it have to do with separately derived neutrals or is the transformer not even necessary? Thanks  
  3. The project is in the Northeast. I was mistaken on my original post, the supply is 230 VAC single phase.  So I can easily get 110VAC from that. What are the rules as to when a control transformer is required? Thanks again for the help.
