Does anyone know if there is a code reference. I have a customer who mounted a siding block behind or very near point of attachment. I want to say no. But want to back it up with a code
Article. I can arrange the wires so they won't hit luminaire but kinda close for bulb changes.
You might want to check the POCO's requirements....
I have PSE&G's Requirements for Electric Service book [aka, The Green Book...
http://www.pseg.com/business/builders/new_service/before/pdf/RequirementsElecSvc2005.pdf ]
I don't know which POCO serves the area where that job is at, but the requirements are probably very simialr.
In The Green Book...page A-5 & A-6...
If a gutter/leader [Item F ] is required to a minimum of 3" ...it stands to reason that is a minimum for any object....
In The Green Book...page A-8
...with further support from No. 10. The point of service connection must be workable from an extension ladder on grade level.
How large is the fixture?
