What is the MINIMUM distance from the edge of a pool or other water hazards for a weatherproof enclosure?

1 m (3 ft) is far too close to a pool edge and does not meet the minimum safe separation distance required by the NEC for enclosures near water hazards.

2 m (7 ft) is insufficient and does not satisfy the NEC Article 680 minimum clearance requirement for electrical enclosures near pools.

4 m (13 ft) is closer than the required 6 m (20 ft) and therefore does not comply with the minimum separation standard.

The minimum required distance from the edge of a pool or similar water hazard for a weatherproof enclosure is 6 m (20 ft), as specified in NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) Article 680. This separation distance is established to reduce the risk of electrical shock from ground faults or splashing water reaching energized equipment. Weatherproof ratings alone do not eliminate the need for this minimum clearance from the water's edge.

10 m (30 ft) exceeds the minimum requirement; while it would be safe, it is not the minimum distance specified by the standard.
