Spacing of 1 ̋ through air, 2 ̋ over surface (at 600V) is required when used in a feeder circuit (that's everything ahead of or on the line side of the final branch circuit overcurrent. Some of the requirements and ratings include: voltage, continuous current, wire range (load and line side). Choose the right box based on environment (indoor/outdoor), load capacity, and durability.
