There was no labels remaining on the panel. Home owner thought it was a Square D, but I don't recognize it. So was wondering if anyone knows what brand it was. Going to replace regardless as one leg not powering from main. Thanks

I looked it up, it was about 6 years. Was there a reason it stopped being made? Safety recalls?

No one bought them. I remember a display that they had at the local supply house. I believe that they were more expensive than the traditional panels. They were touted as a labor saver with a plug-in design.

Part of their selling point when they were introduced 30 yrs ago, was the ability to paint or wallpaper the smooth panelcover so they would be less noticeable in apartment hallways. I believe they had some cutting edge features like finger safe bussing, non-metallic boxes and clamps for NM wiring.
I remember a sales pitch of install the box and then put the guts in after the painters were done.

Looking at it I was wondering how I would get shocked on it as I couldn't see the busses. Lol
 
Leviton panel just seems like too much to fail too often. I think automation should be separate from the main panel.
 
I never saw a Trilliant. I’m in an urban area with Square D dealers around so I’m surprised to have not seen at least one. Amazon has a 20 amp single pole breaker for $125.00. Were they so high when on the market?

Gotta admit that the Leviton Panels look good... Also have alot of smart breaker options for load shedding purposes.

Not so fast. You can only turn off a breaker. You can't turn one on except manually. Further, it is a walled system so you can't integrate it with anything. In my view the way this is designed it is worthless. It will probably go the way of Trilliant.

Didn’t know that, that does make it about useless! (At least the control end) That leaves only panelboards that accept RCB’s.
