Hey Kevin,


Is that the same type of panel as the one in the first post? They look the same. I think Dave Valley’s question about the lower ground neutral wires is that you just can’t tell from the pics that the ground/neutral bars extend down that far. In your most recent picture the bar extends down behind 6 breaker heights which would be consistent with the first pic if they are the same panel.

Yah…we install many panels like this upside down as it gives more room for wires along the sides of the panel and well…saves a little SE wire.


IN fact....if done nice and neat a panel looks sharp when upside down..![icon_smile.gif](upload://b6iczyK1ETUUqRUc4PAkX83GF2O.gif)
