all-pole diconnect


Explanation:
"There must be a method to remove all power to your unit in the event that a hazard occurs. A disconnect device can be a switch or breaker that is accessible from outside the unit. ... If a unit is permanently connected, there must be a switch in the unit or the installation instructions must state that an all-pole disconnect device
must be located adjacent to the unit."

Plenty of other refs.
