Panelboards mounted face up (2023)
from Nat King Code Hosted by Nat King Code
Firstly, we mentioned a code change for 2023. This referred to an update or amendment in the National Electrical Code, related to installation standards or practices. Next, we caught some individuals off guard who claimed a face up panelboard installation would violate section 408.43 of the code. This section likely pertains to requirements for switchboards and panelboards. However, you correctly pointed out that section 518.5(A)(5) offers an exception or allowance for installing panels face up, provided it aligns with the listing requirements. Essentially, while one section of the code might seem restrictive, another part can offer flexibility or exceptions based on specific conditions or compliance with listing standards. It's crucial to thoroughly understand the interplay between different sections of the code to ensure compliance while also exploring innovative solutions where permissible. Thanks for joining us live on Thursday and keep in mind our next live show will be Wednesday 4/24 at 8pm EST. https://www.youtube.com/live/4-WgUndRYGY?si=y_GnYK7hQJtIXj4c
