Hi Wrenches -


Does anyone know what the specific working clearance requirements are for
disconnects switches (there might be a difference between fused and
non-fused) and meter sockets?



I've historically gone by the typical conservative approach found in NEC
110.26, ie 3' in front and 30" wide for typical applications.



However, it is often tempting to try to stretch these rules for standard
utility required disconnects or meter sockets. For example we might have a
utility disconnect over a flower bed that technically doesn't allow for a
full 3' in front or maybe the switch needs to be mounted above a sloped
driveway.



Any opinions and interpretations would be appreciated.



Thanks,



August
