It's a little hard to tell due to the angle, but it appears that the sink does not impinge on the working space required by 110.26(A) (if applicable). So if there's nothing behind the camera that impinges, it would comply with 110.26(A) : - )Okay, so, given this isn't an AC DC, are we kosher then here:
Actually, I guess looking at it more closely by the grout lines, it would pass that section. I know the workmanship isn't sloppy, but placing a large DC like that next to a public sink ought to fail something.It's a little hard to tell due to the angle, but it appears that the sink does not impinge on the working space required by 110.26(A) (if applicable).

There's no 110.12 violation visible in the photo.

And I will argue that all disconnects are opened and checked for voltage and it gets a red tag if the clearances in 110.26(A) are not provided.Say a 30A disconnect with the big red lever, fed from a breaker, controlling a water heater nearby.
Does part (A) apply?
Does part (E) apply?
Or can it be treated like a common switch and not have the 3ft x 30" x 6.5ft requirement?
I would argue that a disconnect is not intended to be worked on live but is merely a means of deenergizing equipment in its vicinity, and as such (A) does not apply.
I would argue that, despite having "switch" in both "disconnect switch" and "switchgear", a simple disconnect switch is not switchgear, and the art100 definition clearly indicates a larger enclosure, so (E) also does not apply.
What about a light switch or receptacle? I have had to open those to check voltages now and then while troubleshooting.And I will argue that all disconnects are opened and checked for voltage and it gets a red tag if the clearances in 110.26(A) are not provided.
That's a good question and that's where in my opinion we are allowed to use professional judgment in these types of situations. Light switches or receptacles are widely excepted by AHJs throughout the country to not have strict clearances like the bulky electrical equipment.What about a light switch or receptacle?

Working source during actual troubleshooting is covered by safety standards and policies, such as OSHA and NFPA 70E.What about a light switch or receptacle? I have had to open those to check voltages now and then while troubleshooting.
