OK,
I started this thread 5 days ago after returning from a hectic day where things just seemed to be against me. I had 2 very definite things in mind and I didn't mention them right off because I WAS SURE (!) that someone else would. Nope, didn't happen, so here goes...
#1 Working Clearances around eguipment
#2 Lighting around service equipment
I was at a Doctor's office complex that complained of lights out and a breaker that would not reset. Panelboard was in a closet - there was a light in the room, but not near the Panel I had to look at. A metal ventilation duct ran from floor to ceiling about 6 inches in front of the left side of panel. There was a waste pipe (pvc) about 3 feet back and center. OK? maybe still no problem,
But ... Oh, the other thing I forgot to mention was that the pvc pipe I was talking about was going down into a Pit which started about 12 inches back from the panel.
So, I'm there in the dark, trying to hold a 3D flashlight and a Fluke meter to test wires, standing in front of the pit with my face about 3 inches in front of the breakers.
I felt like Indiana Jones!
So that's my choices.
Any seconds?
