+ Can you make field changes to the main or subfeed area of lighting panels?

- For P2 and P3, no. Main breaker and MLO require different panel constructions. P1, however, are field convertible between main breaker and MLO.

+ How do I configure a meter in a P2 or P3?

- If 208V, you will need to add 6” of additional gutter space to the top or bottom depending on where the meter is (it is always on the opposite side of the incoming). If 480V, you will need to 12”, and select ‘VT’ accessories in the metering accessories tab.

+ Can I order a 100% rated breaker on a panelboard?

- Yes, but only in a P4 or P5 panel. When available, select 100% Rated in the breaker’s configuration.

+ How do I order 50C Marine or Naval rated breakers in my panel?

- Select None for the panel Certification. Then, in the accessories tab of your breaker, select 50C Marine Calibration.

+ Why does my P1-P3 with 750MCM lugs require tech review?

- 750MCM incoming lugs (any quantity) require an additional 6” of wire bending space that the system does not account for and will need to be added manually. Add 6” of additional gutter space to the incoming side of your panel.

+ How do I configure a panel with interlocks? I have a main and an incoming generator?

- Interlocks can be configured only in P4 or P5 panels using a special mod. Please indicate in the description which breakers require them. If your panel has interlocks with a 3R/12 enclosure or a door-in-door trim, add 4” to the depth.
