Kirk, Not sure if this helps but 690.31(A) “where PV source and output circuits operating at max system voltages greater than 30v are installed in readily accessible locations, circuit conductors shall be guarded or installed in a raceway”
It doesn’t mention 8’ but mentions “readily accessible”. We have AHJs that interpret that as 8’ unless a 6’ fence is installed around the array. I don’t have a reference for those measurements though...just feedback we have gotten from inspectors On Fri, Jul 17, 2020 at 11:38 AM Kirk Herander <[email protected]> wrote: > All, > Is there a reference to this so-called "8-foot rule" that someone could > point me to in the NEC?
