In

a

location

for

of

,

there

are

two

factors

to

be

considered

The

first

of

these

is

the

effect

of

,

and

well

ventilated

,

than

il

the

opposites

to

these

conditions

exist

The

second

con

-

sideration

is

convenience

for

operation

and

maintenance

.

The

breaker

should

be

easily

accessible

to

the

operator

,

and

there

should

be

space

to

be
