Abstract

A power distribution panel can include a main line rigid busbar, a first breaker having a first base and a first line input terminal at a first input connection height from the first base, a first mounting bracket configured to dispose the first breaker in a compartment with the first line input terminal at a connection depth within the compartment, and an input line rigid busbar electrically coupled between the first line input terminal and the main line rigid busbar. The input line rigid busbar can be configured to be selectively coupled between a second line input terminal of a second breaker and the main line rigid busbar, and the second breaker can have a second base and the second line input terminal can be at a second input connection height from the second base, the second input connection height being different from the first input connection height.
