Question, We installed a motor starter without 3' of clearance at a customers plant. A coworker and I are going back and forth about whether or not it requires 3' of clearance. This piece of equipment has a safety interlock which will not allow any maintenance to be performed while energized. The feeders have a shield to protect workers during maintenance since the interlock will not de-energize the feeds. The big question is with this starter require 3' of clearance.
