A client has a voltage optimization unit (tapping transformer) installed in a small room with a single entrance. The room is adjacent to the main low-voltage distribution board.
The current installation doesn't meet the required 700mm clearance in front of the unit, preventing the door from opening fully. This poses a safety concern as there's no clearance when the door is open.
We've been asked to replace the unit, but the location seems non-compliant.
Is there a way to proceed with the replacement without relocating the unit? Could the client sign a waiver acknowledging the non-compliance and potentially restrict access to the room when the equipment is live?
Please advise on the best course of action to ensure safety and compliance
