Can one install a GE Load Center upside-down?
Or any brand for that matter...

My Inspector says that the main breaker is not rated to be "fed upside-down", but I say they meant back-feeding the breaker through the buss, not the effects of gravity on a breaker...

This particular panel has the information written sideways, has the words LINE written to be readable in both directions and the numbers are written sideways beside the breakers.

Once again, he has given me a warning for the next time...

Please keep in mind that here in the sticks, bottom fed panels are a special order deal and we often have to make do with what we've got. (Excuses, excuses...)

Pardon my ignorance once again... but I can't find anything in the NEC to help me here...

I welcome all comments...
