Section 240.24 (A) (4) allows for overcurrent devices to be more than 6'-7" above the floor if adjacent to the equipment they supply. I have an installation of (3) battery cabinets that feed an adjacent (back to back) UPS. In turn this UPS feeds a Distribution Panel. From factory, battery cabinet ckt brk is 6"-6-3/4" to center of handle. I have mounted all equipment on a "skid" of 6" steel. Gear will flush out when mounted to front side of skid. Now overcurrent breaker is at 7'-3/4". Does not 240.24 (A) (4) allow for this installation... since UPS (utilization equipment) is adjacent ?? (note; handbook indicates you could use a ladder).
