Panelboard clearance
Panelboard clearance
(OP)
Hello, can a panelboard be installed 20" from a drinking fountain, as long as you have the 30" working space in front of the panel? or do I need to treat it as a receptacle next to water, so that the working space be at least 6' from the drinking fountain? (I probably don't want a GFI panelboard...)

Yes, the code does require dedicated "space", but that does not mean a dedicated room. As long as the rules in 110.26 are complied with, you have the required dedicated space. This space can be in almost any room that you want with the exception of "clothes closets" and bathrooms.
