hey all,
I'm not electrician but i need to help my friend with some electrical work.
He has an outdoor AC unit that is located around 3 feet away from house. Now he run regular BX from buidling to it.. it think that is not good.

So the question is what is the proper way of connection 220V outdoor AC unit to main power line (circuit braker) I would prefer to do it in accordance to NEC.

Any recommendations. Also Im not too familiar with electrical names so if to explain me what I need and how to connect it (i mean general idea) that would be awesome!

A disconnect disconnects the power so that if maintenance is being performed there is no way the unit can become energized. Basically it acts like a switch. It is installed within sight of the unit so that the worker can see if someone tries to turn the unit on.
