OP HERE - I finally got the right part all straightened out. I needed the Progressive Dynamics PD4645V. I'm trying to install it today.
The old converter (Parallax 7155) did not have a green wire going to the AC side. This new one does. I am supposed to connect the green wire to the Ground Bar. I THINK the ground bar is the stainless steel bar at the top, with 6 holes and 6 copper wires coming out of it...
I have since learned that I can double up on one of the copper wires by adding the new green wire.
Now I need to find out what an AC BRANCH BREAKER is. There are 3 breakers in there, each with two little switches. There was a black wire coming out of the bottom of the center breaker and it was joined to two other wires with a short piece and one of those yellow wire connectors.
I'm a little confused by the instructions: Connect hot (black) wire to the existing AC branch breaker. If the utility pigtail was used on the original installation, two short lengths of 14AWG wire and a wire nut may be used to provide the utility pigtail. DO NOT install (2) wires into the breaker.
Okay, I lied - I'm not a little confused, I'm a lot confused! :)
