ABSTRACT:
A panelboard (30) for distribution of electrical power from a feed line to branch power lines having at least one neutral/bus support assembly (44), with at least one insulating member (100) having a locating pin (52, 54, 56) projecting therefrom. The assembly (44) has a conductive neutral tie strap (70) attached to the insulating member (100) for conduction of neutral phase current. The strap (70) provides attachment points (124) for a neutral lug (39), and for structural support of the neutral/bus support assembly (44) in conjunction with the insulating member (100). At least one neutral rail (68) is connected to the neutral tie strap (70). The panelboard (30) has at least one busbar (46, 48, 50) disposed over the neutral/bus support assembly (44), defining a hole (151) therein for capture therein of a locating pin (52, 54, 56). The busbars (46, 48, 50) are adapted for transferring electrical power from a feed line to a line end of a branch circuit breaker (36) which is connectable to the busbar. A top barrier (58) is disposed over the busbars (46, 48, 50) and connected to the neutral/bus support (44) for capturing the busbars therebetween.
