Plain and simple.. Where in the code does it say I have to have panel covers on?
For example for boxes:
314.25 Covers and Canopies
In complete installations, each box shall have a cover, faceplate, lampholder, or luminaire (fixture) canopy, except where the installation complies with 410.14 (b)
What reference says for Electrical Panels?
I would say 408.38 then. Dead Front = Cover.
Thank you very much I have a code book. And i know how to use it. Its a matter of interpretation sometimes.
