Close this window and log in. Many buildings are located in developments, or on sites with underground electrical and tele/data/cable utilities. This sounds like it might be an NESC (National Electric Safety Code) issue for safe working clearances rather than an NEC issue. Rule 2-312 "Transformer working space" was added to clarify that 1 m of clearance is required for transformers larger than 50kVA, but only on the side requiring access to conductor connections. 0000017870 00000 n
