Line Side Service Barrier Kit

NEC and UL Requirements
Resolution:
NOTE: These are NOT the same thing as the Internal Barrier kits for "Finger Safe", for those kits SEE Are internal barriers that provide IEC529 IP2X, 'Finger safe' protection available for General Duty, Heavy Duty and Double Throw Safety Switches?
NOTE: Square D does not offer any Line Side Barrier Kits for the 200amp, 400amp or 600amp Double Throw Safety Switches.
As of January 1, 2023 ALL the 30 Through 200amp General Duty and Heavy Duty Safety Switches and ALL Double Throw 30 Through 100amp Safety Switches have the Service Barrier requirement built into the Arc Suppressors as standard and a separate kit is NOT required.
