What is the required height for the entrance to the working space for equipment rated 1200A or more?

6 feet
6 feet 6 inches
7 feet
7 feet 6 inches

The correct answer is: 6 feet 6 inches

The required height for the entrance to the working space for equipment rated at 1200A or more is 6 feet 6 inches. This specification is set forth in the National Electrical Code (NEC), particularly under Article 110 regarding requirements for working space around electrical equipment. The reasoning behind this height requirement is to ensure that electricians and maintenance personnel can safely enter and perform work in these spaces without the risk of injury from low ceilings. The height of 6 feet 6 inches allows enough clearance for most individuals while also accommodating for equipment and tools that might be used during maintenance. In addition, this height standard reflects the importance of accessibility for safe operation and maintenance of high-capacity electrical equipment, ensuring that the working environment accommodates both the physical dimensions of the equipment and the personnel involved in its maintenance or operation.
