Was easy to install and use. Did not include breakers.

Not an outdoor panel unless you want to fill all the holes

This is a nice panel and meter base combo for the price. I utilized Seimens breakers with no issues, essentially the cheaper breakers you can find at big box home improvement stores. The only negatives I can report are that for an exterior box, the manufacturer should not have cut the punch outs all the way through on the top of the box. To fix this, I simply bough plugs for the top to keep water from entering the meter base. The only other complaint is the square head connectors on the ground and neutral bars. Not a big issue, but I had to delve into tool box to find my old stock of sq drive to tighten grounds, however, it has been a while since I did electrical work so this may be common on all panels now. Otherwise, it hooks up and works fine, no issues from the electrical company to set meter, it is a ring type meter, so make sure your electrical service provider has no issues with such types of meter bases.

The box arrived as promised, but wound up not being what we needed. Easy return. Very pleased with the process

The can itself - fairly solid, rough texture compared to American brand coatings, flimsy knockouts that are open around each size (not welded, sealed ko's)The guts - multiple mounting screws are stripped, many were loose, bussing looks and feels solid, Siemens breakers fit good.Covers - dead front knockouts are bigger than normal so you can partially see the lugs on the breakers and you push them out real easy with your fingers, dead front doesn't want to fit right (have to force it) panel cover fits good, same texture as the can (rougher than American made finishes)

Todo está bien

This 40 circuit breaker box is very sturdy and well made. There is a place at the top for a meter to be placed. I am waiting for an inspector to look at the box before I put it to use. The box is not NEC certified so I don't know if it will pass inspection. Our opinion is if the box were NEC inspected it would pass the inspection, but we don't know the process for that. I'm sorry that I don't have a better review to submit at this time, but I will update this review as to whether the box is allowed to be used or not.
