My guys are working on a job with an electric fire pump. The fire pump controller, jockey pump and foam pump controller are all located in the fire pump room...which is getting very tight. My foreman on the job is telling me that I need to maintain clearances as per 110.26 (A)(1), but I disagree. As per 110.26 (A):
...likely to require examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while energized...
I have a disconnecting means for this controller aside from the one in the unit. I also have the main service disconnect (separate service for the fire pump) that I can use as a disconnecting means. Therefore, I can de-energize in the event that I need to perform the aforementioned tasks.
I know I want to make sure there is as much room as possible in order to facilitate any type of maintenance, but I do not think I need to maintain the dimensions as per 110.26 (A)(1).
What do you all think?
