Re: Panel in stairwell
Its a building code issue. We have this in nyc, you are not allowed any equipment in the stairwells that does not strictly serve the stairwells. So even if you have your electrical clearances and the NEC is upheld, the building code incorporates the fact that it is a bad design. For us they allow conduits in stairwells, but if those conduits branch off to serve floors, its not permitted. The conduits must be strictly serving the stairwell.
