I am upgrading my 60 amp fuse service entrance to a new 100 amp service with breaker panel. The basement in the house is only about four feet from floor to ceiling (bottom of floor joists). It's not much higher than a typical crawl space.
Because the service entrance cable will run accross the top of the doorway, I am concerned about it being hit by people and/or objects being carried in or out of the 'basement'. Therefore, I planned to run the service entrance cable inside 2 inch pvc conduit inside the basement. However, the 2" 90 degree fitting used to make the transition from horizontal to vertical and into the top of the panel box, has such a large radius that I can only get the bottom of the panel box about one foot off the floor.
The 'basement' is dry, concrete floor, and is equiped with a sump pump - but I'm concerned that the panel being so close to the floor might cause the installation to fail inspection. Should I be concerned??
