  • Renovation load center and method of replacing existing load center
    Patent number: 6570754
    Abstract: A load center is upgraded by removing the existing load center and replacing it with a renovation load center. As the existing incoming and branch circuit wiring may not be sufficiently long enough to reach the proper terminations in the replacement load center, renovation terminal blocks are provided in the renovation load center adjacent the penetrations of the external wiring to which the incoming lines, and if necessary, the branch circuit wiring are connected. Cabling is then provided between the terminations on the renovation terminal blocks and the appropriate load center terminations. The renovation terminal block(s) can be housed in an auxiliary enclosure mounted adjacent to a main enclosure containing the load center interior or all of the components can be housed in a single renovation enclosure.
