Abstract
An electrical distribution panel includes a backplane, a circuit breaker comprising a load conductor for transmitting electrical power to a load, and a load sensing assembly comprising a load sensor operatively coupled to the load conductor for detecting an electrical load of the load conductor and generating a load signal proportional to the electrical load. The load sensing assembly is selectively positionable with respect to the load conductor at a plurality of fixedly secured positions on the backplane to facilitate positioning the load sensor with respect to the load conductor.
