Does anybody else think a diagram would help this? Working space gets a lot of press around here.

Accessible, Readily (Readily Accessible). Capable of being reached quickly for operation, renewal, or inspections without requiring those to whom ready access is requisite to climb over or remove obstacles or to resort to portable ladders, and so forth.

(E) none of the above.
I cannot think of any reason one would be required to work on a panelboard while energized therefore working space is not applicable.

Re: PANEL CLEARANCE
Bryan, I'm surprised at you. That's very close to humor.
Although I know you're serious.
I can think of several reasons to access a live panelboard and it also being safe. It is a dead front if it's not open.
But I see you're point too. And it is kind of funny actually.
Edit: And you have a new signature.
