NEC 110.33(3) Personnel Doors. Where there is a personnel door( s) intended for entrance to and egress from the working space less than 7.6 m (25 ft) from the nearest edge of the working space, the door(s) shall open in the direction of egress and be equipped with listed panic hardware.
Does a personnel gate in the fence surrounding an enclosed outdoor unit substation meet the definition of a personnel door as noted above?
All of our outdoor unit substations are enclosed by a fence to limit access to qualified personnel only. Personnel gates are can only be unlocked by qualified personnel. These personnel gates do not have panic hardware. Should they or does 110.33(3) not apply?
