Switchgear has minimum clearances that you need to look up in the specs of that switchgear. It should state a minimum clearance for the front, sides, back and top.

5 feet is generallly a good safe distance for the front...sides (usually fully covered) likely have shorter distances.

Regardless, you need to find the specs of your particular switchgear.
