  • Loadcenter having a dual purpose neutral rail
    Patent number: 4079439
    Abstract: This invention relates to a distribution panelboard such as might be used for electrical service entrances. The panelboard differs from prior art designs in that the neutral rail which is generally found in previous designs at the top or bottom of the panelboard is located on each side of the panelboard. In this manner it serves to conduct the neutral currents to the neutral load and at the same time functions to anchor one end of a distribution circuit breaker thereto.
