Minimum mounting height for disc switch?

[Isaiah]

The max is 6’-7” to the center of the grip, but what is the minimum height?

For mobile and manufactured homes, the minimum is 24" to the bottom of the service disconnect.
I don't think there's a minimum for other buildings.

Other than what Ron mentioned it only need to be high enough for the door to swing open.

If installed outdoors in the north is it subject to physical damage if installed low to the ground and subject to snow cover?

There is no NEC requirement that addresses this, but common sense should come into play.

I had to work on a panel that was about 12" off the ground. I had to lie down on the ground to work on the panel. It is so hard to believe that that would be allowed. I do know that it is allowed but I would never install a panel in such a fashion.

Not the best location but not prohibited either. Big 90" tall switchboards sit on the ground and some of the connections are only a foot or so from the bottom.
