[RE-wrenches] (no subject)

[Michael Morningstar]

Readily accessible is now defined in the 2014 NEC. Installing OCPD’s underneath a module is a major faux paux, and I can’t imagine any AHJ thinking otherwise. Having to remove a module in order to reset a breaker, what a drag.

"Capable of being reached quickly for operation, renewal or inspection without requiring those concerned to use a tool, to climb over, remove obstacle or other.”
