Convertible electrical distribution panel
First Claim
1. An electrical distribution panel comprising:
- an enclosure;
a first power input;
a first circuit interrupter including a first terminal electrically connected to the first power input and a second terminal;
a first bus electrically connected to the second terminal of the first circuit interrupter;
a plurality of second circuit interrupters powered from the first bus;
a second bus electrically connectable to the first bus through one of the plurality of second circuit interrupters; and
a number of third circuit interrupters powered from the second bus,wherein the first bus and a number of the plurality of second circuit interrupters are structured to power a number of first loads,wherein the second bus and the number of third circuit interrupters are structured to power a number of second loads, which are different than the number of first loads,wherein the number of the plurality of second circuit interrupters operate independently from the number of third circuit interrupters,wherein the electrical distribution panel is structured to be converted for operation with a second power input to power the second bus, andwherein the second power input is structured to receive power from a separately derived system.

Abstract
An electrical distribution panel includes an enclosure, a first power input, a first circuit interrupter including a first terminal electrically connected to the first power input and a second terminal, a first bus electrically connected to the second terminal, a plurality of second circuit interrupters powered from the first bus, a second bus electrically connectable to the first bus through one of the second circuit interrupters, and a number of third circuit interrupters powered from the second bus. The first bus and a number of the second circuit interrupters power a number of first loads. The second bus and the number of third circuit interrupters power a number of different second loads. The electrical distribution panel is converted for operation with a second power input to power the second bus. The second power input receives power from at least one of a separately derived system, and a portable generator.
