Adding a 15A breaker to PD5000 Power Distribution Panel
I am wanting to add a 15A breaker to my power distribution center. Anyone have an owner's/installation manual for the PD5000 by Progressive Dynamics, Inc? Thanks, Russ

I see SquareD above, but the photo shows the breakers as Cutler-Hammer. Our old IOTA power center uses them. I found C-H to be a familiar name but not as popular as others. I think Big Box (probably Home Depot, don't think I went to Lowe's) had a few C-H breakers. But when I needed a 30/20 to replace Main, I had to go to an electric supply place. Later found Amazon had some.
We had one blank space left and when I looked at the breakers, JAYCO had put two circuits on 15A side of one of the 15/15 breakers. By adding another 15/15 I could split that load into two circuits, and still do what I wanted to accomplish. Which was install an outlet right by the load center to plug a heater into in the winter to heat the bedroom. None of this improves the total capacity of our RV beyond 30A, but dividing the 15A loads up a little helps some.
