Location of upgraded service panel
I am upgrading the electrical service from 100 to 200 amps and am in question of my new desired panel location. I would like to place it on an exterior wall behind the new meter location. The power company has said my new meter location is fine. I was wondering if it is code to have the panel in a "stairwell" and use the landing as the working space for the breaker panel. The new panel would be installed at the height as if the landing were the floor. The landing meets all the space requirements of the nec but I am just worried because it is technically in a stairwell. I have attached an image for better claification.
