Re: Panels in restrooms
Rick,
Sure you can use it, it's your picture! This one is enlarged a bit over the original.
I just came upon this thread and thought it was perfect for the picture. I didn't know that you were trying to do the same thing at the same time.
I guess great minds think alike ?

Rick has the info on this situation that he came across as an Inspector several years ago. He had sent me the photo some time ago and it was featured in the July 2002 CEE News (just missed being front page that issue) accompanying an Article I had written entitled: Your friend, the electrical inspector

Re: Panels in restrooms
Marc,
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the code section prohibiting overcurrent devices in dwelling Unit and Hotel/Motel guestrooms is found in 240.24(E)
240.24(E) Not Located in Bathrooms. In dwelling units and guestrooms of hotels and motels, overcurrent devices, other than supplementary overcurrent protection, shall not be located in bathrooms as defined in Article 100.
There is no mention of restrictions in other occupancies.
