working space

This has been widely debated.

It depends of if you feel a non-fused disconnect would require examination while energized.

Keep in mind that examination includes testing for voltage.

Chris no biggy the OP did say working clearance and should have said dedicated electrical space....big difference.... hendrix it is very important to use proper code terminology....just trying to help.:smile:

I know, I read working space and 110.26(A) poped in to my head and I didn't really see the (F).

So, If there were three runs of 2" copper for water piping directly above a 100 amp., unfused disconnect, it would be code compliant ???????

Yes, the dedicated equipment space in 110.26(F) only applys to switchboards, panelboards, distribution boards, and motor control centers. There is no mention of non-fused disconnects in that section.

I agree. I believe that the reason for maintaining dedicated space above that list of equipment is to leave us room to install our conduits. If I have my panel fully installed, and if a duct is later added over it, and if I even later need to add another conduit, I might have trouble finding room. That problem is not a problem for a disconnect, since we generally don't have to connect additional conduits to the top of an already-installed disconnect.
