[RE-wrenches] VFX inverter vertical

[Bill Loesch]

William,

You have the well deserved reputation of the go to guy for clean 
equipment mounting solutions.

Isn't sideways breaker operation what you have in any panelboard/load 
center? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Just my $0.02.

Best wishes with the install,
