Overview

ABB ReliaHome load centers (SKU: PCARE) from ABB Electrification deliver rapid, tool-free residential electrical installations with unmatched reliability. Designed for single-phase, three-wire, 120/240 VAC applications, these UL-listed panelboards (No. 67) feature advanced plug-on neutral electronic circuit breakers with ABB’s proprietary ReliaLock™ connection system, eliminating the need for tools during installation. Key specifications include a 22kAIC RMS symmetrical interrupting rating, 60°C/75°C conductor ratings, and support for up to 30 branch circuits in a 100A configuration. The P-Series models are optimized for new construction, renovations, and solar-ready projects, with solar-ready versions compliant to NEC 705.12 standards supporting up to 120% of bus ampacity for seamless photovoltaic integration. Durability features include galvanized steel enclosures, convertible bonding screws for flexible grounding, and integrated circuit breaker mounting rails for streamlined setup. Backed-out neutral screws simplify wire management, while field-extendable neutral bars accommodate evolving electrical demands. Available with gray or white fronts for indoor installations, these panels are backed by a 2-year warranty (P-Series) or a 10-year warranty (P-Series+ with copper bus). NEMA 3R outdoor-rated versions feature factory-installed bonding screws and pre-removed twist-outs for efficient service entrance applications. Fully compatible with all ABB residential circuit breakers, these panels optimize stock management and reduce labor time by up to 50% compared to traditional load centers. Comprehensive accessory support includes neutral kits, main lug kits, and generator interlocks for end-to-end solutions.
