Right, but then that seems to be only a workaround so they can come back later and put a receptacle where everyone wants them, and no longer allowed, on the cabinet face below. I feel I must be the bearer of bad news once again. People don't like their counters messed with.

@@pcatful , Bless your heart, that might be the case. Now that AFCI is required on basically all dwelling unit branch circuits, I think that all panels (commercial and residential) should NOT be allowed to have a neutral bus bar, instead every circuit breaker would be required to have a neutral terminal on it. The NEC is requiring more and more forms of protection for branch circuits including AFCI, GFCI, GFPE, and Surge Protection. The closer the fault can be isolated, the better the protection, better breaker microprocess of fault conditions, and easier troubleshooting for service calls. The breaker's line side neutral should just be integrated into the panel and breaker. Other wording in the NEC would also have to be revised. Section 408.40 Grounding of Panelboards would have to revise its wording that says: “Equipment grounding conductors shall not be connected to a terminal bar provided for grounded conductors or neutral conductors unless the bar is identified for the purpose and is located where interconnection between equipment grounding conductors and grounded circuit conductors is permitted or required by Part II and Part VII of Article 250.” Also Section 408.41 Grounded Conductor Terminations would have to be totally revised, and the exception in this section would have to be deleted. I have seen apprentices make mistakes on commercial subpanels because they were only familiar with residential meter main panels. This change I outline would eliminate confusion, so that never would a neutral be landed on an equipment grounding conductor bus bar. I also think that Surge Protection should be addressed only in Article 210, alongside AFCI and GFCI. Surge protection should be deleted from Sections 215.18, 225.42, and 230.67. Also having the surge protection at the breaker brings up the question if all breakers should now be Double-Pole Single-Throw Circuit Breakers, with one of the poles-throws being for the neutral. Say that the voltage surge lasts a long time, maybe the breaker should open all conductors (phase and neutral). I also think that GFPE should be on a case-by-case basis, so also put it in Article 210. Thus GFPE would be deleted from Sections 210.13, 215.10, and 230.95.
