Construction Details
ReliaHome P-Series load centers use a galvanized enclosure with integrated circuit breaker mounting rails and a plug-on neutral design intended to simplify residential electrical installation.
The neutral bars are elevated and supplied with backed-out neutral screws for easier conductor termination. ABB also provides field-extendable neutral bars to support compatible installation requirements.
For convertible outdoor NEMA 3R configurations, ABB identifies a factory-installed bonding screw and factory-installed ground terminations as standard features.
The P-Series uses aluminum bus bars and is designed for compatible single-phase, 3-wire, 120/240 VAC residential distribution systems.

Selecting the Correct Load Center
125A | 16/32
Select PAC1612R for a compatible 125A application requiring the 16/32 circuit configuration.
200A | 20/40
Select PAC2020R for a compatible 200A application requiring the 20/40 circuit configuration.
200A | 30/60
Select PAC3020R for a compatible 200A application requiring the larger 30/60 circuit configuration.
Plug-On Neutral Design
Simplified Breaker Installation
The ReliaHome plug-on neutral design is intended to simplify installation of compatible plug-on neutral circuit breakers by eliminating the need for a separate neutral pigtail connection on supported breakers.
Elevated Neutral Bars
ABB positions the neutral bars for easier access and supplies the neutral screws backed out to help reduce installation steps during conductor termination.
Installation-Friendly Features
One-Tool Installation
ABB identifies the ReliaHome P-Series design as supporting a one-tool installation approach to help streamline field installation.
Integrated Mounting Rails
Integrated circuit breaker mounting rails provide durable support for compatible branch circuit breakers.
Maximized Gutter Space
The ReliaHome design provides increased gutter space to improve conductor routing and working room inside the load center.
NEMA 3R Outdoor Configuration
These models are configured for outdoor NEMA 3R applications. NEMA 3R enclosures are designed for compatible outdoor installations requiring protection from falling rain and weather exposure.
ABB identifies outdoor gray NEMA 3R configurations within the ReliaHome P-Series product family.
Proper installation, conduit entry, sealing, mounting orientation, drainage, and enclosure integrity must be maintained to preserve the intended environmental protection.
Convertible Main Configuration
The outdoor ReliaHome P-Series NEMA 3R models use a main-lug convertible configuration.
This allows compatible load centers to be configured according to the approved ABB main-device arrangement and project requirements.
Confirm the exact main breaker or main lug configuration, conversion components, breaker compatibility, and complete system design before installation.
