Power pole connector between pd and breaker

[WizenedEE]

We did that last year and the inspectors didn't say anything.

By Power Pole, I assume you mean the Anderson Connectors? The huge red ones?

Yep, and last year an inspector (at a preseason, admittedly) said that a relief valve that was in brass fittings away from the compressor was OK, when the rule said that the relief valve had to be on the compressor.

You might get lucky one year, or one event. At the next, you might run up against an inspector who knows the rules and enforces them as written. (In the above example, that was myself and the LRI.)

Besides the obvious "Last year's rules do not apply to this year", of course.

I'd be more inclined towards IndySam's interpretation. However, I can see where it could be viewed as legal. Definitely Q&A it.

(Oh, and those big red connectors are Anderson Power Pole connectors. Either name should work...)

They're actually Anderson Multipole connectors, specifically SB50 Red. Powerpole connectors are the smaller modular ones.
