Can you add a catwalk with handrails in front of it for maintenance?Chris Worcester chris@solarwindworks.com530-448-9692Sent from my Samsung Galaxy s9. -------- Original message --------From: Jason Szumlanski <ja...@floridasolardesigngroup.com> Date: 3/26/21 12:41 PM (GMT-08:00) To: RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> Subject: [RE-wrenches] Batteries and Working Spaces I am planning a battery backup system using Fortress 18.5kWh eVaults. Due to flood level requirements, these are going to need to be mounted about 48 inches above the garage floor on a shelf/platform. That puts the tops of the battery cabinets well above 6'7". But I believe that these do not fall under the working space requirements of NEC 110.26 since they are not likely to require maintenance. In fact, could these be mounted even higher, say way up near the 14' ceiling (subject to manufacturer spacing requirements)? Can anyone see any code problems with this approach, putting aside the practical problems with mounting heavy battery cabinets well above grade?Jason SzumlanskiFlorida Solar Desing Group
