NEC article 240.24(E)

[smkredit]

Has this article changed from the 1993 Code? My question is, was it a violation to install a panel in a bathroom in the 1993 NEC?

Welcome to the forum.

240.24(E) is the same in the 1993 NEC as it is today. Overcurrent protective devices are not permitted in dwelling unit bathrooms.

The 93 reads like this;

240-24(e) Not Located in Bathrooms. In dwelling units and guest rooms of hotels and motels, branch-circuit overcurrent devices shall not be located in bathrooms as defined in Section 210-8.

This would probably help.:roll:

The 93 210.8 def;

Bathroom: As used in this article, a bathroom is an area including a basin with one or more of the following: a toilet, a tub, or a shower.

Prior to the 1993 NEC, it was permissible to install panels in dwelling bathrooms.

Yep, the 2002 NEC was the first time that the dot system was used instead of the dash.
