Question:
Hello and thank you for this daily code information. What is the maximum height to the top switch in a motor control center? What about if the MCC is on a housekeeping pad?

A
Answer:
Hi Frank,
Thanks for the question. The NEC does establish the maximum height for switches as 6 feet, seven inches to the center grip of the handle when it is in its highest position. The NEC currently does not offer an exception for equipment installed on a housekeeping pad. See Section 404.8(A).
