Abstract
A support assembly is provided for an electrical enclosure including a housing having first and second opposing sides, electrical bus members, and at least one electrical switching apparatus, such as a circuit breaker. Each of the electrical bus members is electrically connectable to a corresponding one of the circuit breakers. The support assembly includes at least one support member having first and second opposing ends, first and second opposing edges, and a plurality of apertures extending from the first edge toward the second edge and receiving the electrical bus members. A fastener assembly supports the support member(s) between the first and second sides of the housing. Each support member extends only a portion of the width between the first and second sides of the housing, and supports the electrical bus members, without being attached to the housing at a location between the first and second sides thereof.
