Elevator control/machinery space

[mikesimpson5]

Referencing 2011 NEC 620.37(A), would this require that the elevator equipment not be installed in an open area, such as a garage in a home? Do the requirements of 620.23 (A)(B)(C) imply that this area or space is separate and apart from other parts of the dwelling? Any and all opinions greatly appreciated. Thanx

Definitions:

Machine Room (for Elevator, Dumbwaiter). An enclosed
machinery space outside the hoistway, intended for full
bodily entry, that contains the electrical driving machine or
the hydraulic machine. The room could also contain electrical
and/or mechanical equipment used directly in connection
with the elevator or dumbwaiter.


Machinery Space (for Elevator, Dumbwaiter). A space
inside or outside the hoistway, intended to be accessed with or
without full bodily entry, that contains elevator or dumbwaiter
mechanical equipment, and could also contain electrical
equipment used directly in connection with the elevator or
dumbwaiter. This space could also contain the electrical driving
machine or the hydraulic machine.

Does not seem to say that a machine room is required in this case, only machinery space.
