ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for an electric load center including a basepan with a plurality of fastener devices for securing bus bars, neutral bars, and a variety of other electrical components to the basepan. Each fastener device comprises two independent structures, the first structure a self aligning support post and the second structure is an engaging lock. Both the self aligning support post and the engaging lock project away from the basepan first surface. The self aligning support post consists of a plurality of angled surfaces to facilitate assembly of the electrical component to the basepan first surface. The self aligning support post also contains an interior cavity that houses the engaging lock. The engaging lock has a first surface with an inclined angle with respect to the basepan and a second surface with a zero angle with respect to the basepan to facilitate retention of the bus bar. The fastening device may also include a swing snap and an angled arm for securing electrical components to basepan first surface.
