Awl --

I know that the NEC code (and NYC code) specifies that a "standard" wall
outlet can't be below X inches above the floor -- 4" (at one time), iirc.

Is there a similar code for breaker panels? *And is there a *maximum* height
above the floor, as well?
Curious as to what the various codes are in various locales, esp. in
NYC/Westchester.

I just happened to ask my own personal NEC code guru this very
question.

the answer

no minimum height, max is 6' 6"

with a 30" x 30" x 6' 6" volume clear (no fixed objects) in front the
panel.
Panel doesn;t have to be centered in space; can be high / low or
left / right within access.

But I'd sure hate to work on a panel that was much lower than 24".
