I was on a job today where there was a panelboard in an attic. You could stand up in the attic. Are there any codes that would have prevented this panel from being installed in an attic? TY
Perhaps you havn't been around much? In my area, you'll find maybe one panel per every 10,000 mounted outdoors. I think that the southwest is the one geographical exception. Most of the country has their panels mounted indoors.Rockyd said:...but most places like the service on the outside.

GG said:This would be a sub panel. The HO has a 80 amp circuit that he is no longer going to use. He wants to add several 120V loads and it would save money on copper by using this 80 amp circuit to hit a sub panel in the attic. Abient of the attic is 130-140. I dont know what max temp that breakers can be installed in. Would this much heat be an issue?
