Abstract
The present invention provides a reconfigurable power distribution panel, a power distribution system, a method for reconfiguring a power distribution panel, and a method for manufacturing a reconfigurable power distribution panel. The reconfigurable distribution panel, among other elements, may include a first bus bar having a first plurality of contact points thereon and a plurality of circuit protection locations associated therewith and a second bus bar located proximate the first bus bar and having a second plurality of contact points thereon, the second plurality of contact points having the same plurality of circuit protection locations associated therewith. The reconfigurable power distribution panel may further include first and second coupling devices coupleable to a one of the first or second bus bars, respectively, at a chosen circuit protection location, and a circuit protection device coupleable to either the first bus bar or the second bus bar at the chosen circuit protection location by the selection of either the first or second coupling devices.
