I am just in the process of wiring my garage and I can't remember what the min height from the bottom of my electrical panel to the floor has to be.
Anyone help me out here?

Max height is 5'7" to the top breaker from the floor. Or 1.7m. Height of the tub doesn't matter, it's the height of the top breaker that matters.

So top breaker less than 5'7" then? That doesn't seem right. My panel in the house is well over 6' to the top breaker-although it is in the basement and is about 1' above outside ground level.

And No min height?

Ok.
Thanks guys. Makes my life easier as it gives me a little more cable to play with from the house. Forgot about the frost loop on the garage end so I shorted myself a bit.
