Phillip Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Is there anything in the building standards that say this panel is in the wrong place? The house was built in 2007 and should be on the 2003 IRC. I am moving and do not have my code books where I am at. Thanks for the help.

As I recall, the prohibition on overcurrent devices over stairways didn't make it into the NEC until the 2008 edition. I'm not sure that it's ever made it into the IRC. So, no, it was ok in 2007.

Brandon Whitmore Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 How about the handrail sticking out in the working space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I just believe that working on electrical on an uneven area is a bad ideal. The hand rail will give them something to grab on to when they fall. By the way that is the steps from the garage to the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 So the enclosure is breaching the fire separation? Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 So the enclosure is breaching the fire separation? Nice. Relax. The box will probably protect the house longer than the door next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I think location of that panel increases the step potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
