Correct answer to question 7068
- D: From the front cover of the enclosure
Explanation
NEC 2026 clarified that the depth of the working space is measured from the front cover of the enclosure rather than from the live parts inside. Equipment with a removable or hinged cover is therefore measured from the closed cover.
