Is it permissible to have conductors enter from the back of the enclosure on NQ, NF, or I-Line panelboards?
Issue:
Available space/dimension at the back of the box to install pipes for back entry in a panel.
Product Line:
I-line, NF, NQ Panel
Environment:
Products sold and used in North America
Resolution:
No. We can not recommend a back entry since all panels are designed and tested for top or bottom entry only. As a result, we do not have any back mounting dimensions or information to provide.
If customer decided to do a back entry, they will need to determine their own entry points and it will be between the customer and local inspector as to acceptability.
