Wired my house 20 years ago. Went with QO and have never regretted it, Yes a homeowner can legally wire their house where I live. Anyway if I wanted to upgrade do I just replace my old breakers with shiny new multi function ones and replace my GFCI outlets with standard outlets? How does the new plug on neutral work? Do I have to have a space on the neutral buss for each breaker?
Maybe I’m just stupid… I don’t know. But how does this QO panel save you time over the standard panel that everyone else sells? Even the Square D Homeline series. How does this so called ‘plug on neutral’ panel make your job easier? For every circuit that you add to the box you still have 3 wires to land. Including the ground that is. So what am I missing? I mean I just purchased one of these panels to install in my garage. I just don’t see how this thing is going to make my job any easier. What am I missing???
Really great and covers almost all that one needs to know. 1. Does the DF performs a routine “self test” like the new GFCI breakers? 2. In the Advanced Function Devices slide, the DF does not do the “Fault-to-ground-detection” unlike the CAFCI, is this correct? I ask because the miniature Circuit Breaker slide shows that DF does everything CAFCI and GFCI and that you verbally confirmed it also.
I came across my first Qwik Grip panel last week on a remodel job. I had no idea this was even available. Fortunately, most of my branch circuits were NM cables and this was a breeze to install. I would have been in trouble though had they been armored 'BX' cables.
14 year electrician here. Used this quick grip for the first time today. WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT DESIGN! Slipped off while pressing the wires into the quick grip and stabbed both of my thumbs and was bleeding all over. These tabs do not seem sharp but I can tell you they are. I hope to never use this POS design again! Ill continue to use my RC50/75's, thank you.
Great presentation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Does absolutely no good to advertise these when you can't find them.
SO the new plug on neutral wont work onolder pannels I assume?
NO, it won't.

Isn't the 1 for single pole, not single phase? Because a 2 pole has a 2 in the part number but it's still single phase.

Are you guys deleting the negative comments?

You don’t have to land the breaker’s neutral pigtail to a neutral buss that’s all.
Are those CAD drawings available for download? Sketchup Format?

Are the main lug covers available for older panels?
