[NolaTigaBait]

im looking for the article where it tells you where a panel can be located inside the house...i see 230.70 a2...whicj says it cant be in a bathroom...im pretty sure it cant be in a clothes closet...

Check 240.24

The overcurrent device restricts panel locations as well.

Well, only if you plan on installing breakers or fuses.... :grin:

You got the restricyions but watch staircases and make sure you have the Height, width and depth

actually 230.70(a)(2) refers to service equipment, not panels in general.
While you are looking, broaden your outlook a bit and and take overvcurrent protection into consideration also, and not just the panel.
(note 240.24)

110.26 also has a say. (Working space)
