ABSTRACT:
A circuit breaker power distribution panel which is constructed in the form of a single unit. The panel includes an electrically insulative base which include first and second electrical connectors that are to respectfully removably connect to mating electrical terminals of a circuit breaker. The circuit breaker is to be removably connected to the panel. Imbedded within the panel and mounted on the electrically insulative base is an input busbar and an output busbar. The first electrical connector is part of the input busbar. The input busbar is electrically connected to the circuit breakers with the power from the circuit breakers being transmitted to the second electrical connectors which are also imbedded within the panel. A load terminal connects with each second electrical connector with there being a separate load terminal for each second electrical connector. There is a separate load for each circuit breaker. Associated with each load terminal is a return terminal with the return terminals of all the load terminals being connected to an output busbar which is also imbedded within the electrically insulative base. The output busbar is connected to an appropriate electrical ground. An auxiliary circuit connects with each circuit breaker. The auxiliary circuit is to activate (or deactivate) an annunciator giving a visual and/or audible indication of whether a circuit breaker is open or closed. A feed-through capacitor is mounted between the input breaker and the output busbar to supply additional electrical power during a short burst in power usage.
