Distribution panel with selectable output voltages
According to one aspect of this revelation, an electric power distribution panels includes a first input bus for coupling to a first power source, a second input bus for coupling to a second power source, and at least one circuit breaker carrier. The carrier is selectively movable between a first position for coupling a circuit breaker to the first input bus, and a second position for coupling a circuit breaker to the second input bus.
According to another aspect of this disclosure, an electric power distribution panel includes a plurality of slots for supplying power to circuit breakers, a first input bus for coupling to a first power source, a second input bus for coupling to a second power source, and a plurality of circuit breaker carriers. Each carrier is positioned in one of the slots and selectable movable in its slot between a first position for coupling a circuit breaker to the first input bus, and a second position for coupling a circuit breaker to the second input bus.
According to yet another aspect of this disclosure, a method is provided for using an electric power distribution panel having at least first and second input busses and a circuit breaker carrier selectable movable between a first position for coupling a circuit breaker to the first input bus and a second position for coupling a circuit breaker to the second input bus. The method includes energizing the first input bus with a first voltage source, energizing the second input bus with a second voltage source, and installing a circuit breaker to the carrier with the carrier in the first position to thereby couple the circuit breaker to the first input bus.
Further areas of applicability will become apparent from the description provided herein. It should be understood that the description and examples set forth below are provided for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure
