Chris, is it possible you where thinking of 312.2 which requires a 1/4" air space behind panel cabinets mounted in wet locations?

Good point. IMO if there are ?" raised mounting bumps on the back of a can, it would be to comply with 110 also. Its early, let me think about that.

 

[chris kennedy]

Kennedy,

Do you have a Service Line and Load in the same Meter conduit?

I wonder how the Load side from the Meter gets to the Panel?

No, there is a 2" nipple between them.

Chris things that need cooling would be transformers, power supplies, VFDs etc. A typical dwelling unit load center does not require specific clearances for cooling. (IMNSHO) :smile:

It would make much more sense to keep them out of the sun. :smile:

I would think that the spacing would be more for drainage, than cooling.

Sorry Chris I don't agree with the 110.13(B) This looks like a common install to me except for the meter can damage.

However, I do agree with peter d....

I see the problem. There's a broom handle leaning up against a windowsill. That's clearly not a listed use for a broom handle.

 

[cycotcskir]

The meter is wired Backwards:wink:

Well you trained me......

 

[steelersman]

I was thinking 110.13.

you're being extremely gay if might say.

What happened to your opinion of there not being 30" clearance? Did that go away? I can't tell from the pic that there is anything in front of it anyway. Besides isn't the rule 36" instead of 30"?

You lookin for a date big fella?

I never had an issue with 110.26 here.

 

[steelersman]

nope, I'm married.

after re-reading that I see that I took it in a sarcastic fashion when you said: "No nice 30" clearance".

 

[chris kennedy]

nope, I'm married.

No harm, no foul Garth. Go Fins.

 

[steelersman]

fins are alright by me

 

[cowboyjwc]

It's "White" PVC coming out of the top of the panel.

And what are these basements of which you speak

 

[Jljohnson]

I see no supports (straps) on the conduits heading down from the panel. I can't see enough of the ones heading up to tell.

 

[JohnJ0906]

It's a hole under the house where we store all our junk..... :grin:

 

[cowboyjwc]

OOOOHHHH, I want one.

Here in CA that's were we hide the bodies.:wink:

 

[Karl H]

So is there "Really" a violation here? If your going to cite 110.13 (B),
isn't that 3/4" gap at the bottom of the panel enough air flow? :smile:

that doesn't even apply to this. No need for an air gap just like Bob was saying.

Oh, OK thanks for clearing that up for me.
