<div>Several years ago we added 3,200 watts
to an existing 24V system with an APT 4B, which has only 5
CD-style DC breaker spaces. We had to add four more OBDC
panel-mount breakers. We installed them in the cover of the
SW4024's DC conduit box. Same method; drill, jigsaw with tape to
protect against scratches, and files. This one had to look clean,
as it was a permitted/inspected upgrade and it had to look like it
was done that way at the factory. Probably took an hour to get it
right and fool the AHJ....<br>

<div>I just did this for my fish house. I drilled holes first to
eat up most of the spot I wanted to remove and then used a jig
saw. I filed the area after I was done. It looks good. I put a
very thin bead of grey caulk around the edge to hide the spot
that I "colored outside the line".<br>

<div>I just did one with 32 tooth/ in.
jig saw, then filed it to clean the edges. Came out decent,
but took about 20 minutes.<br>
I would tape over as well to avoid scratches.<br>
I know they make punches, but they're stupid expensive, and
easy to break the corners off.<br>
