    How does the AC disconnect "disconnect" if there's an issue without any fuses? Here's a picture of my AC disconnect.

    I think he means the inverter will shut down.

    It appears from your pic that the neutral and ground are bonded in the switch. If so, not code unless supply side tap.

      Seriously? The AC disconnect is a manual switch. It connects or disconnects a circuit when the switch is thrown.

      Fused disconnects contain an over current protective device (OCPD), and their presence in Mb190e's post lends support to the idea that his disconnect may be part of a line side tap, as DanS26 suggested. The OCPD for the OP's inverter's AC circuit is the circuit breaker in the service panel.

        Whoops brain fart, I'm not an electrician just trying to learn something new when I read this forum. You are correct mine has a line side tap. I forgot about other systems being backfed through a breaker.
