EMT vertical support

[rich000]

Is this installation in violation of 358.30(A)? i.e. It is not securley fastened within 3 feet of the cabinet? Thank you.

IMO yes, it also looks more than 5' so the exception cannot be used.

 

[infinity]

Yes, and it's quite common on those exact types of installations, 90? bends into the top of the equipment.

I agree with Bob and Rob, a violation.

The switchgear would have to rated for support. Correct?

Yes it would have to be rated for that.
