I havnt had a chance to reference my code book and was talking to another electrician and we were disagreeing about the amount of unfused cable allowed in a dwelling before it hits the panel. Anyone shed some light?

Thanks

NEC doesn't specify a distance. Some local codes do.

just remembered that after posting...thanks!

I'm getting ready to do a meter relocation which will cause the SE cable to be about 60' to panel after it leaves the meter so ill have to set disconnect outside. Does the disconnect have to be a fused disconnect?

Yes.

In my hometown the maximum unfused distance is 3' Other areas only allow unfused cable between back to back meter/main panel.

Electrician buddy of mine was thinking it was 25' of unfused cable. I started 2nd guessing myself but didn't feel that was right...

thanks guys

My personal preference is no unfused anything in a resi
