Switchboard Clearances

In a recreational vehicle the Switchboard may be a single main circuit breaker.

Front Clearance:

• At least 600mm from the face of the device

If there is a protruding surface below the device (e.g. bench, bed):

• Maximum 600mm from face of device to edge of protruding surface

For a Switchboard – Main circuit breaker located in a cupboard:

Front Clearance:

• 600mm from the face of the device
• Modifies AS/NZS 3000 – does not measure from the edge of an open door

Clearance from face of device to front of cupboard:

• Must not exceed 50mm
• This ensures that no items can be placed in front of the switchboard/circuit breaker, keeping it free and unrestricted for easy access.
