William,
You have the well deserved reputation of the go to guy for clean
equipment mounting solutions.
Isn't sideways breaker operation what you have in any panelboard/load
center? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Just my $0.02.
Best wishes with the install,

Friends:
We have not one, but two jobs coming up in the near future requiring
we
mount FW500 base plates 90 degrees rotated from the norm. In all my
years I
have never had to do this and now it is twice. I am trying to wrap my
head
around this.
I hate to have breakers actuate sideways so I hesitate to just rotate
the DC
cabinet with the base plate. I may keep the DC cabinet vertical and
punch a
hole in the top to accommodate connections to the inverter. I want to
ensure that we have room for an additional inverter so I will try to
position the KO as far to one side as possible to see if another
inverter
can fit.
We rarely use the Outback AC cabinet any more anyway, so we will just
use
the standard QO panel(s) mounted at the top right side up. They may
hang
off of the base plate somewhat, but we deal with that regularly.
Anyway, that is my tentative plan. Anyone else deal with this. Have
any
photos?
Thanks in advance,
William Miller
