Replaced a sub panel in the house with this unit. I wanted to update the older panel anyway, so this was a better bet then just adding a transfer switch. Quality construction with copper bus, although the edges did get a bit bent up in shipping - packaging could be better around the wall flange. The watt meters right in the panel are very nice, and the floating neutral is a nice touch. Keep in mind that if you are replacing an existing sub-panel, the input lugs for the wire from your main panel are set much lower down in a normal panel, a consequence of both the watt meters and the switched neutral. If you are lucky, you'll have some play in the feed. Otherwise, be prepared to run a new feed wire to get the extra length. I'd recommend 9-12" of pay beyond a standard panel. Also bear in mind that the length of the panel means an extra long door, so you need clearance for that as well.
Very happy, fits all my sub circuits and then some, and there was no need for pigtails from a panel to a transfer switch as I had to do on my main house panel & transfer switch. I'm now examining replacing the main panel with a single transfer panel.
As usual, service from EGD was great, and they kept me up to date through all the deals due to the Great NE Blackouts. This panel, along with a Gen-Tran 50A transfer switch for my main panel is married to Gen-Tran 4-prong input boxes, and a Generac 15000W portable genny. Thanks guys!
