Canadian electrical code issues

[petersonra]

Are there any real obvious issues with sending equipment to Canada?

I seem to recall that panel boards have to have the main lugs in a separate compartment on panel boards (or something to that effect) and that the working space requirements are slightly different.

Anyone in Canada here that can give me some clues?

It has to have a ULC listing. Generally I think they use a NEMA 3R arrangement with rain hoods on all electrical distribution equipment.

There are many canadians over at electricians talk. Their CEC is very similar to the NEC but I am not sure what you are looking for specifically

As far as I know, that only applies to service equipment. By having the service conductors and the service disconnect in a separate compartment, you can turn the main off and not be exposed to any voltage when you access the branch breakers.
Something I have been trying to get into the NEC for the past three code cycles, without any success, but I understand that the next edition of the UL standard for panelboards will have this requirement, so I don't need to get the rule into the NEC.
