Panelboards
Environment:
UL, NEMA, NFPA 70
Cause:
Panelboards applied as service equipment shall be suitably rated and marked in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
Resolution:
All panels are suitable for use as service equipment when used as permitted by the National Electrical Code. The statement for service entrance equipment can be found on the torque and wiring diagram on every panel. NOTE: This applies to: NQOD, NQ, NF, I-LINE, QMB, NF and I-LINE standard and Non-Linear Ready-To-Install/Assemble (RTI/RTA) interiors. Factory assembled panelboards must be explicitly ordered as "suitable for service entrance" to ensure that all necessary hardware will be furnished.
