I think you misunderstand me. We always use the GSLC cabinets. I just don’t like the design concept that clutters the cabinet with AC and DC breakers that are difficult to access and block other components. See photo below of a prewired GSLC Cabinet we were asked to work in. Not a good scenario.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">We have created an installation standard using the GSLC that minimizes the problems inherent with the design. We run all AC leads to adjacent load centers and we try to minimize the DC breakers in the cabinet. It is our goal to completely eliminate all breakers from the removable dead-front. I think it is pretty self-explanatory why one would not prefer to make connections in a hard to reach location. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Our goal is to constantly improve our installation procedures to create better, safer and more efficient installations. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Also, I don’t need someone to instruct me on how to make a “finished” looking install.
