UL 891 states that circuit breakers in Dead Front Switchboards shall be placed no higher than 6 1/2 foot (2 metres) from the base of the rack they are installed in. Thats fine and I can find the references fine in the UL specification. But, I am told that they can be placed no lower than 6 inches (or possibly even 18 inches) above the base of the rack they are installed in. This is the 'myth' I need some information on. I've read UL 891 but haven't found any reference to this matter in it (or if I did my brain was switched off at that point). What is the requirement for the minimum mounting height for circuit breakers in Dead Front Switchboards? Is it covered by UL891, or is it hiding in the NEC regulations? Any ideas?
