368-12(c) allows breakers to be mounted on a busway and be operated with a stick. How high can this busway be mounted and still have breakers operable from the floor with a stick? I have an installation that requires a 20 foot stick to reach single pole breakers from the floor. The breakers are about 24' high. Is this an acceptable installation?

I have not heard of a limit to the length, I've seen higher.
 
You are referring to buss-duct.

Great stuff.

Been around for as long as I have been in the trade.

Yes, a stick is how you turn it on off and reset.

The longer the stick, the stiffer it has to be.:confused::confused:;):D:D
