Abstract
A service-entrance plug-on neutral (SEPON) device having a conductive neutral sled having a line sled side and a load sled side configured to electrically couple with a neutral bus of a bus assembly of a switchboard or panelboard when the SEPON device is installed on the bus assembly; a lug assembly having one or more electrically conductive terminal lugs configured to receive line neutral current from an external source and to electrically couple to the line sled side; a movable neutral disconnect link movable into a connection position to establish electrical continuity between the line sled side and the load sled side and into a disconnection position to cause a discontinuity between the line sled side and the load sled side; and a main bonding jumper having first mounted to the line sled side and a second ends configured to be moved between a non-connected position and a ground position.
