What is the required clearance in front of switchboards when boards are installed facing each other?

5 feet
6 feet
7 feet
8 feet

The correct answer is: 7 feet

The required clearance in front of switchboards when they are installed facing each other is 7 feet. This is established to ensure safe access for maintenance and operation, allowing enough space for personnel to work effectively without risk of incidental contact with live equipment. Maintaining this clearance is crucial for adhering to safety regulations, facilitating safe electrical work, and ensuring compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and other relevant standards. The distance allows for adequate airflow and safe maneuverability, minimizing the risk of accidents during operation or maintenance procedures.
