charlie b Moderator Staff member Location Lockport, IL Occupation Semi-Retired Electrical Engineer Aug 17, 2010 #4 The ground bar is not included in the list of electrical equipment that is likely to be worked on while energized. It is never energized. So there are no requirements for working clearance in front of the ground bar.
