240.24(A) gives a 6'-7" limit for breaker handles and handles of fused disconnects. I don't know if there is a similar rule for unfused disconnects. I believe there is no rule that gives a minimum height above floor level.

Thank you
I am going to replace panel and top of enclosure comes up to 7’7” since I don’t have this panel yet I am not sure how high will be top breaker without any modifications to conduits
Also someone told me there is minimum 3’ from floor but I don’t remember that from code book and our main gear bottom breaker is only 12” of the floor and was installed just 7 years ago.


Thank you for help
I have to look more often in the book

Thank for for questioning "someone" about minimum height. There is a lot of misinformation and a good reply is "show me in the code where it says that". RE: minimum height, 2 ft to bottom for a mobile home service, Art 550. Seems like WA state has a rule on minimum height, and POCOs may have a minimum height.

But any POCO rule should only affect the Service Disconnect (and anything else in the same enclosure?)

Thank you I did not realize that

404.8(A) which applies to all switches also has the 6'7" rule. There are some exceptions.
