I'm trying to get ahead of the curve here:
Planning to place a surface mount breaker panel in a garage. Panel has a Type 1 enclosure. Is there a minimum distance it has to be from the garage door opening? I'm imagining the inspector's the argument that if the garage is left open in a storm, the panel could get wet. My response is: so will my living room if I leave the front door open during a storm, but that doesn't make my living room a wet location. Thoughts?
