Is it per NEC to have a door in front of a panel, i have an existing panel and a new wall going up in front of the panel. Can i place a door in front of the panel that can be opened for the 3'6" clearance in front of the panel needed. It is a 450a 480v panel. When the door is closed the space between the panel and back of door is 1'6". The door is wider than the panel.

Is the door at least 30" wide?

With the door open, you need a 30" wide area in front of the panel, with the depth per the NEC table (which sounds like it is 3'-6" for your case).
