Patent ID: 7460360

Claim:
A method of configuring a power distribution panel, the method comprising: mounting a chassis for forming a power distribution panel to a support structure, the chassis including a housing having a back, top, bottom, and two opposed side surfaces, the housing defining an open front end for receiving circuit element modules, the housing also defining an interior of the power distribution panel, the open front end defined by front parallel edges spaced apart and facing one another; mounting a circuit element module to the power distribution panel, the circuit element module including a circuit element and a module member having upper and lower flange surfaces connected by a front surface, the upper and lower flange surfaces being generally perpendicular to the front surface and extending from the front surface in the same direction and opposing one another, the upper surface defining a fastener hole for coupling the circuit element module to the open front end of the chassis, the front surface defining a location for receiving a circuit element; and coupling the circuit element to circuitry incorporated in the power distribution panel.
