Answer:
Hi Kathy,
Thanks for the question. Panelboards contain overcurrent devices, usually circuit breakers. Overcurrent devices are not permitted in clothes closets according to Section 240.24(D). Overcurrent devices are also not permitted in dwelling unit bathrooms, dormitory bathrooms, and bathrooms of guest suites or guest rooms according to Section 240.24(E)
