[RE-wrenches] Working Space

Hi:

Back in the day when I was giving the Xantrex training for the GT, I was 
informed by our regulatory folks that we will base the 36" height on an 
interpretation of the electrical code whereby the switch is considered to 
be the same as any other electrical wall switch or outdoor receptacle.

I learned in a Xantrex GT training (way back) that their 36" bottom 
clearance requirement was to avoid [most] lawn sprinklers, so that may be 
the case here too. I'd still plan for it to be high enough to avoid any 
basement flooding and to remain easy to access. May be worth discussing 
with SMA ahead of time in case the AHJ complains about it during the field 
inspection.

Great thanks. SMA says 36" to the bottom of the disco so will go with 
that.

Hi Adam,

To the best of my knowledge there is no minimum height specified in the 
NEC. However, many inverter manufacturers specify a minimum height. You’ll 
need refer to the manual for that.

Best, August

Hey Wrenches,
We are installing some inverters in a basement where the height we hang 
them at is limited by some windows. I'm trying to find a code reference 
that says how far off the ground the DC/AC disco on the inverter needs to 
be but am not finding one. Could be that they are in the 3' range. Not 
ideal but might be our best option. Anyone know where I could look up 
compliance?
Thanks
Adam
