Field assembled modular electrical distribution device

A system comprising:

• a plurality of prepackaged modular kits selected from a variety of modular kits and configured to be field assembled to form a field assembled modular electrical distribution device, the plurality of prepackaged modular kits including:
• a frame kit having multiple unassembled pieces configured to be field assembled to form a frame that, once assembled, is configured to support other field-assembled prepackaged modular kits of the plurality of prepackaged modular kits;
• a line bus kit having line bus substructures and a plurality of line bus bus bars that are unassembled, the line bus substructures configured to be field assembled and further configured to be secured in the field to the assembled frame kit and to support the plurality of line bus bus bars, the plurality of line bus bus bars configured to be mounted to the line bus substructures while being electrically isolated from one another and electrically connecting a main breaker/fused switch kit to a utility power source;
• and
• a load bus kit having load bus substructures and a plurality of load bus bus bars that are unassembled, the load bus substructures configured to be field assembled and further configured to be secured in the field to the assembled frame kit and to support the plurality of load bus bus bars, the plurality of load bus bus bars configured to be mounted to the load bus substructures while being electrically isolated from one another and electrically connecting the main breaker/fused switch kit to a through bus kit, the through bus kit electrically connecting to a through bus kit of an adjacent field assembled modular electrical distribution device;
• and
• computer logic, at least portion of which is remote from a field of assembly of the field assembled modular electrical distribution device, the computer logic being configured to verify that each of the plurality of prepackaged modular kits is assembled according to a certified method of a certifying third party by an assembler of the field assembled modular electrical distribution device such that the field assembled modular electrical distribution device meets same compliance requirements as a factory assembled electrical distribution device and is eligible for the certifying third-party's certification mark, by causing the following steps to be executed:
• receiving, from the assembler via the at least one wired network, the selection of the plurality of prepackaged modular kits to be assembled from the variety of modular kits and, in response, providing via the at least one wired network a plurality of sequential assembly steps including a sequence for assembling the plurality of prepackaged modular kits and sequential assembly steps for assembling each of the plurality of prepackaged modular kits;
• controlling performance of the plurality of sequential assembly steps for assembling the plurality of prepackaged modular kits by only communicating, via the at least one wired network, a next assembly step of the plurality of sequential assembly steps after receiving a verification via the at least one wired network that performance of a particular prior step of the plurality of sequential assembly steps is completed per requirements for certification by the third party, with a verification per the requirements for the certification by the third party of completion of at least one step of the plurality of sequential assembly steps being evidenced by a digital signal output by at least one sensor;
• and
• upon determining that compliance has been achieved for the assembled modular electrical distribution device to be eligible for the third party's certification mark based on a verification of the completion of the plurality of sequential assembly steps, recording, in a digital storage repository, a final assembly report for the field assembled modular electrical distribution device.
