Product Line:
QO 3-phase Load Centers

Resolution:
TOP FEEDING:
ALL of the Canadian, QO, 3 phase, NEMA 3R load centers come with the main breaker or main lugs located at the top of the load center interior and can be top fed as standard.


BOTTOM FEEDING:
NOTE: BOTTOM FEEDING OF THESE LOAD CENTERS WILL BE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON LOCAL CODE AUTHORITY ACCEPTANCE.

1) NO NEMA 3R, QO, 3 phase load center can be rotated, neither the interior nor the complete load center.

2) All of the Canadian, NEMA 3R, main lugs load centers can be bottom fed by entering the bottom endwall with the incoming conductors and running the conductors up past the interior, through the gutter area, and making a loop around into the main lugs.

3) NONE of the Canadian, NEMA 3R, main breaker load centers can be bottom fed due to the CSA required service entrance barrier.
