Abstract: An enclosure for electric power system control, monitoring, protection, and automation access devices, which includes a selective workspace enclosure. The enclosure includes a workspace enclosure for enclosing a workspace adjacent to a device for controlling, protecting, monitoring, and/or monitoring an electric power system, thereby providing a shelter or barrier to the elements for personnel accessing the device. Generally, the enclosure may be partitioned to include a number of cabinets, in each of which a number of devices may be installed. The enclosure may further include a platform, guide members, protective barriers and cover members (when retracted housed in a cover cabinet) to provide a shelter or barrier to the elements for personnel accessing the devices from a select workspace.
