No brainer right? 110.26(F)(1)(a)
The space equal to the width and depth ........
..... shall be dedicated to the electrical installation.

Does this mean only conduit from that specific piece of equipment can be in this space or can conduit from any piece of electrical equipmetn be in this space?

I guess what is the commonly accepted/enforced definition of electric installation.

The code is not explicitly clear on this point. I believe that the most common interpretation is that anything electrical can be in the dedicated space, even if it is an conduit that is not related to the panel in question.

I agree with Charlie's interpretation.:)

I'd hate to let common sense ever influence my inspections :grin:, but, if you routed a 4" conduit say 12" above a 6" deep can, I might cry foul.
