Can a doorbell transformer live inside of a J-box?
Typically, a doorbell xmer lives in a crawl space and is connected to a J-box through the 1/2"KO, with the xmer outside the box. In this application, the customer wants to add a doorbell and there is no crawl space below. There is room in the 3-gang switch box at the front door, right behind where the push button will go. I'd like to keep the xmer in that box (there is room), but is this legal? Are there heat issues with the xmer that would preclude me from keeping it enclosed in the box with a couple of switches?
