The embodiments describe arrangements of internal components for power distribution equipment which optimize equipment performance. A compartment partition is disclosed, the partition configured to be inserted to power distribution equipment and maintained therein for sub-dividing the compartment. An inverted load center is disclosed which, in conjunction with the compartment partition, facilitates the separation of disconnects without the need to expand the power distribution equipment within which such compartments, disconnects, and load centers are located. The embodiments also describe a method which, among other things, relates to the installation of the compartment partition.
Power distribution equipment, comprising:
A compartment partition comprising a metal plate configured to divide a compartment interior of power distribution equipment into a first sub-compartment and a second sub-compartment, the compartment interior being defined by an upper compartment wall, a lower compartment wall, and two side compartment walls, the metal plate comprising a partition width and a partition depth and defining an opening therein.
A method of separating a first electrical disconnect switch and a second electrical disconnect switch in power distribution equipment, the power distribution equipment comprising a housing having at least four side walls and a rear wall, the side walls defining an equipment interior, the housing further having a barrier extending between opposite side walls of the housing and defining a first compartment and a second compartment within the equipment interior, the method comprising:
