Government answer: Note 6 should be note 3. Note 3 mentioned bonding mechanical equipment to the lightning protection system. EP103 no roof mounted receptacles are shown. Government answer: There is no receptacles shown as there are only exhaust fans on the roof. Per code it s required for heating, air conditioning, or refrigeration equipment. An exhaust fan doesn t exactly fit into these criteria. With that said a convenience outlet can be added if needed. E603 shows almost all the disconnect types as a breaker N4X.
