This is a new panel which has been fitted to an older installation. I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I took off the cover!
Look at the top terminals of the circuit breakers. No wires!
Hmm, curious. Wonder where all those hots from the branch circuits go then......
Ah, here they are:
Yes, somebody put all of them on to the
busbar side of the breakers!
Here's a closer look at the breakers used in this panel:
The bottom terminal is dual-purpose: It can be clamped onto a busbar or wired separately.
Somebody must have spent a fair bit of time manipulating all those wires into place behind that busbar into the wire terminal.
