Unobstructed

[hhsting]

What is the intent of 110.26(c)(2)(a) unobstructed? Does it mean cannot cross working space egress path of travel or does it mean egress path of travel their is no explosion of swbd or something else?


a) Unobstructed Egress. Where the location permits a continuous and unobstructed way of egress travel, a single entrance to the working space shall be permitted.

For this one IMO you can use a dictionary definition since it is not defined by the NEC.

Unobstructed - free from impediment or obstruction or hindrance; "an unobstructed view", Synonyms - Clear, Free, Open

Ok but according to that definition the blue path below looks unobstructed but NEC exhibit says you cant have one egress and is considered trapping so its obstructed. Thus the confusion what is the intent of unobstructed and post #1 question??

Obstructed or not, if you can not see the reasoning for the illustration being a hazard then we can not help you. With that said do not post anymore threads on this issue, you have worn it out.
