    Panel Placement
    Per NEC can an electrical panel be located inside a employees "coat room?" LA county requires a coat room, and I'm out of space to locate the panels. Any help is appreciated. Also, if you can point me to the NEC section I would greatly appreciate it.

    How about the hallways if you have any?

    Negative, I need 400 amps, so 2 panels, and the only "hallway" I have has 10" of free wall space. :(

    My code book is old but you might want to check Article 110-16, Working Space about Electric Equipment.

    Sounds like someone's locating the panels outside.

    Code section against install in closet= NEC 240.24(D)

    it's 110.26 for today's code 600 Volts, nominal, or less
