Abstract
A smart load center panel () accepts two hot legs from each of two power sources, and selectively connects each of a plurality of breakers to one of the two power sources under processor control. A dielectric chassis () provides structural support and electrical isolation for a plurality of individual circuit boards (), each including a pair of breaker stabs () and a relay () operative to selectively connect each breaker stab () to a different power source. A bus bar assembly () comprises two bus bars for the hot legs of each of two power sources, and insulates the bus bars from each other and from inadvertent contact. A master printed circuit board () comprises slits () defining the individual circuit board () except at the edges. After mounting and soldering, the edges are cut away, yielding a plurality of individual circuit boards (). Neutral and ground bus bars () are mounted to the side of the panel housing (), behind a flange of a front opening.
