Guys I need to get this one Clarified here's the story......
In 110.26 the code ask for a minimum of 30" of clearance in front of a piece of equipment. 36" to Non Grounded parts and 42' to Grounded.
DWP and other utilities ask for a minimum of Clear and level work space. I have read through the code and have seen nothing about clear and level.
I installed a Inverter that was 42" to a fence. There was 33" of space from the door of the Inverter to the edge of pad. So that left a space between the fence and the pad that was about 9" and 6" deep. This is not a walk space at all so it can't pose a trip hazard.
Now I have to admit that If I had it to do over I would Move the Inverter further back to create more space in front of the Inverter, But I had already improved upon an engineers design and was trying to make the installation look the way it was drawn on the print.
Is the 33" of space on the pad Legal? I have my 42" of clearance to the the fence. ( This fence was an after thought and I was provided a bad design to begin with....) Please provide a clearly stated reference of the code. Every code reference I have seen does not clearly state if this is NEC acceptable...
