Flammables, caustics and clutter......that is a much better location. I just joined the forum because I was searching for this answer. My house is on a slab and I've got limited areas to move the panel. I was entertaining adding a level on the house and wanted to use the space where the panel is now for an oversized kitchen/eating area. The panel would be relocated to the second floor. I live on a lake and it would be great to have breakfast nook or something overlooking the water. I know the topic was about panel installation in a closet but what about a large walk-in closet. I thought I read somewhere that the installation is more about clearance and accessability (vicinity). What I read was 18" on both sides of the panel and 3 feet in front. Is there any truth to this? Oh........... the panel is 200 amp. Thanks in advance guys.
