Did you make it like a sticker? Something you can buy from the office store?

I much prefer to install a panel with the lugs top or bottom depending on the direction the feed is coming from, but as you can see and surely experienced with main on the bottom it crowds the circuits coming in from the top.

It's all about the quality. :smile:

My boss just prefers copper. And I do, too, but he is the one that pushed me over the edge when it comes to the SE. I haven't pulled a piece of AL in almost 10 years.

One thing that helps minimize the end-of-the-can traffic jam is to bring the wires in on the same side of the panel they'll land on, or alternately, land them on the same side as they enter the panel.

I like stacking the 2-pole breakers on one side and the single-poles on the other. That layout also falls in with the way the panel end-plate KO's are pre-punched. Like this:

That's actually blue Sharpie ink that got partly worn away from handling. The picture makes the white appear much brighter than it really is.

They came in the panels. I always remove and save the ones I don't need to use. I store the mounting screws in a couple of the wire holes.
