Appleton introduces the PowerPlex panelboard, which is unlike traditional panelboard design in that it transfers its flamepath protection from the enclosure to individual circuit breaker housings. This component-level protection allows it to deliver increased installation flexibility, improved reliability, as well as simpler, faster maintenance while also eliminating the need for external conduit or cable seals, according to the company. Each circuit breaker housing connects to the panelboard through terminal connections. The terminations provide quick wiring access and are molded into the housing. The PowerPlex panelboard can be coupled either vertically or horizontally for better space use in large installations. In addition, its flat sided construction results in easier storage and transporting.
