1st Question- I installed a subpanel on a fire rated board on a wall to run new circuits from it to some low voltage security system panels. The security guys installed a troph for the low voltage wiring that has extended above my panel. I told them to remove it because their troph has no electrical association with my subpanel and breaks the 6.5 height part of the code. Was I right?
2nd Question- Management of the building I am working in wants me to install a subpanel on a fire rated board on the wall where the right side of the panel will be a 1/2 inch from a wall that comes out 90 degrees from the wall the panel is on. Meaning my panel will practically be up against a wall on the right side. On the left side of my panel will be a low voltage security system panel about two inches from the left side of my panel. My panel is only 14 &1/2 inches wide. Because their low voltage panel is not a part of any electrical system or a subpanel itself, they will be breaking the 30 inch side by side rule? We don't have 30 inches because I can't include a low voltage security panel as part of my 30 inch rule and I am up against a wall on the other side. Am I right?
Thanks Guys,
Rick
