The question found in Sentence 3.6.2.2.(5) & 9.10.10.3.(2), "What is a limited quantity of service equipment or service equipment that does not constitute a fire hazard?" may be answered partly by the fact that Ontario Hydro officials advise that under most circumstances, electrical service panels up to 600 amperes, which are usually placed on alternate storeys of residential apartment buildings, and air-cooled dry-type transformers of up to 750 volts incoming service do not constitute a fire hazard. Consequently, they can be located within a public corridor.
