Main Disconnect Height

[rbwsparky]

I will be replacing an old 4 fuse panel with a 100A Main Breaker panel in a basement with a 6'6" height ceiling. Is there a minimum height for this panel to be mounted. I'm pulling my hair out trying to find this in the code book. A liitle help for the New Year would be greatly appreciated

In this application there is no minimum height requirement.

Thanks for the reassurance. I have a habit of overthinking these things. Thanks again and Happy New Year.

You can mount it 2" off the floor if you want. The height limitation is not an issue due to the ceiling height.

Maximum height 6'7" you have 6'6" ceiling no way to have a violation.(there is no minimum height in the NEC for this application)

I found 6'7'' I just thought I saw a minimum at one time. Thanks for all the responses.Once again I tend to overthink things at times. I don't think I've ever done 2 services quite the same.

You may have mistaken the min. height of a meter base for the panel. Each POCO has a max. and min. height where NEC only has a max. height for the panel ocp.

It's possible you were reading Art 550 mobile homes. Section 550.11 (A) lists a minimum of 24" from the bottom of the distribution equipment to the floor level.
