What is the maximum height a disconnect or breaker handle can be from the ground? I am referring specifically to a breaker disconnect handle on the front of a drive enclosure. What section of NEC is this?
Another question is I think you need 36" clearance in front of 480V panel by code. But what if 26" away from the front of the panel we had a cabinet on an adjacent wall that only stuck out a few inches in front of the plane of the 480V panel? Would this still count as a violation, or does the whole plane of the front of the 480V panel need to be blocked to be a violation if under 36"?
