There are no pig tails on the AFCI breakers, they plug onto the neutral. Cleaner and faster install. Breakers cost more, $57 instead of $53.

Why don't you use QO 54 space w/po option. Breakers are cheaper too.

60 ckt QO ordered yesterday. And it will be sideways.

Oh Canaduh, land of the sideways panels.

I'm not a fan of QO, and you can use the pig tail breakers if you want.

QO plug-on and pigtail AFCI's are the same price. Considerably cheaper than you're paying for CH.

Is it also correct that you cannot pass the branch circuit conductors through the main breaker area if that breaker is the service disconnect?

As far as the 5'6, are you guys shorter than us?...our maximum height to the center of the breaker handle is 2 meters, it was 6'6" before we added the metric measurements.

A 60 circuit panel installed recessed would be an interesting picture.

54 spaces? 60 spaces? I have not seen these.

I don't know what kind of prices you get but my price is a lot cheaper for the 54 space w/po neutral versus the standard 60 space panel.

40 circuits is a 'big ass panel' ? Must be residential. Been working on 114 circuit panels all this week :whistling2:

What size of a building needs 114 circuit panels? Are they all located in different areas? Are all 114 panels the same brand?

Installed one in a grocery store to feed there deli, hot food counter, and pharmacy. Pretty sure we loaded it up to.

I take it these are sub-panel you're installing. What brand? I've use NQ's but not that many circuits in one panel.

84 circuit

What Brand panel. NQ?
