Question:
In a new house construction project, can the electrical panel be in a floored attic if the installation meets all minimum set backs, and has access by pull down stairs? What code sections would apply?
Eileen Felton
A
Answer:
Hey Eileen thanks for your question. Yes, if the access and working space is provided as stated in 110.26. If the attic is not air conditioned the ambient temperature needs to be considered also so none of the components or wiring methods are applied above their temperature rating. See 110.3, 310.15, and Articles 312 and 408 for more information.
