First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A fuel dispensing system, comprising: a plurality of fuel dispensers; at least one tank configured to store fuel; at least one pump configured to pump the fuel from the tank to at least one of the fuel dispensers; and a fuel panel assembly configured to supply electric power to each of the fuel dispensers, the fuel panel assembly comprising: a plurality of overcurrent protection breakers, each overcurrent protection breaker provided for one of the fuel dispensers; and a plurality of disconnect devices, each disconnect device provided for one of the fuel dispensers; wherein the fuel panel assembly is provided within a single control panel enclosure. 2 . The fuel dispensing system of claim 1 , wherein the fuel panel assembly further comprises a system disconnect configured to disconnect power to each of the fuel dispensers; 3 . The fuel dispensing system of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of disconnect devices is configured to disconnect all conductors to a corresponding fuel dispenser. 4 . The fuel dispensing system of claim 1 , wherein the fuel panel assembly further comprises a control device, and wherein the system disconnect disconnects power in response to a control signal input received from the control device. 5 . The fuel dispensing system of claim 4 , wherein the control device is a programmable logic controller. 6 . The fuel dispensing system of claim 4 , wherein the control device is a pushbutton switch. 7 . The fuel dispensing system of claim 1 , wherein the control panel enclosure has a NEMA 3R or 4 rating. 8 . A fuel panel assembly configured to provide electric power to a plurality of fuel dispensers, the fuel panel assembly comprising: a plurality of overcurrent protection breakers, each overcurrent protection breaker provided for one of the fuel dispensers; and a plurality of disconnect devices, each disconnect device provided for one of the fuel dispensers; wherein the fuel panel assembly is provided within a single control panel enclosure. 9 . The fuel panel assembly of claim 8 , wherein the fuel panel assembly further comprises a system disconnect configured to disconnect power to each of the fuel dispensers; 10 . The fuel panel assembly of claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of disconnect devices is configured to disconnect all conductors to a corresponding fuel dispenser. 11 . The fuel panel assembly of claim 8 , wherein the fuel panel assembly further comprises a control device, and wherein the system disconnect disconnects power in response to a control signal input received from the control device. 12 . The fuel dispensing system of claim 11 , wherein the control device is a programmable logic controller. 13 . The fuel dispensing system of claim 11 , wherein the control device is a pushbutton switch.
