Hi guys.
Wondering if someone with better knowledge of residential electrical code could help out (I know some industrial but mainly around 480). I tried searching the internet and NEC at the library but I couldn't decipher a clear answer.
I have 2 200 amp breaker boxes in my basement. They are currently in the "gym" and the cubby they're in "freaks out" my wife. Previous owner walled in partially, which I was told is out of code.
My question, what is acceptable to do to cover this area?
Info:
-Boxes are ~40 inched edge to edge
-As you can see this is also where my internet comes in (in AT&T's infinite wisdom I have to keep their router as a gateway hence the 2nd router which is going to be relocated). My coax also comes in here (no internet or satellite of course) so I would like to be able to access this area for main power in, fiber in, running circuits to panels, and eventually, hopefully, solar power coming in.
My question:
-With the boxes wider than a 36" door, I assume cannot use in this situation?
-How much space has to be in front of panels? I assume when working on it's 48"?
-Any other items that would need to be done?
Thanks,
