Free standing enclosures??

[sean walsh]

Where in the code is the minimum height from floor for electrical components? I know I read it somewhere but have come up empty. We make our own enclosures sometimes and want to be sure we are in compliance. This is my first post here and hope you can be my saviors.

The NEC has no minimum height requirement for electrical equipment except for a mobile home service disconnect.

Wow that was fast! Thanks! Maybe I'm thinking about a UL requirement that I read?

There may be maximum heights to consider.

Sean,You might have been reading article 404.8 (2002).The maximum height of the center of the handle or breaker is not more than 6'7" from the floor.
