I am very disappointed that the IFI breaker panel is not allowed, as far as I can tell. The new distribution block and fuse panels are more weight that Raul won't let me have

So does it state some where that if we buy the breaker panel that we can't use it?

I found rules in which would support using it, but also found rules that would make it not usable, and by the flowchaert it could be used.

Of course going by the rule that you have to "follow the wiring diagram" then we couldn't use it. However last year it was like this also and they changed and said we could which was nice.

It provides for a lot more clean wiring and does not have as much weight.
