It's probably staring me in the face but I'll ask anyways...

Which working clearance article is the 1st pic violating 480?

Combination of 110.26(A)3 and 110.26(A)1


See the step thingy at the bottom .....

110.26(A)3 refers you to (E) which exception allows less than 6.5' of headroom. No violation IMO.

110.26(A)1 you'll have to explain to me. That step is small and appears to be under the electrical equipment for the most part although I'm sure it sticks out a few inches. I see this no differently than a housekeeping pad installed under an MCC. Very commonly done, no violation IMO.

Watch your step.

It looks like NEMA 4X (which is not cheap) next to NEMA 3R.......I wonder if there are any more violations..........Ahhh who cares I'm only here to inspect the clearance....I'll sign the report:grin:

Maybe the picture does not show enough...what is the issue here?

The item on the left sticks out past the face of the panel.

Watch your step.

Do those conductors on the right violate 312.6?

Two issues, no 30" of width between the ATS on the left and the wall and the panel to the right is in front of the panel in the middle.

Do those conductors on the right violate 312.6?

No. Conductors can never violate that section, as it applies to the equipment the condcutors are in, and not the conductors themselves. The equipment appears to be about 6" in depth (give or take), so you could legally install 500 kcmil conductors without the equipment being noncompliant.

312.6 Deflection of Conductors.
Conductors at terminals or conductors entering or leaving cabinets or cutouts boxes and the like shall comply with 312.6(A) through (C)



Ryan
I do not see how you came up with your statement.

 

[iwire]

Given 312.1 how could anything in 312 apply directly to a conductor?
