Default Timers to go with the breaker box or fuse box.

I'm looking to get some timers that will go right on my breaker box or
fuse box, or next to it, as simple an installation as possible, that
will put a timer on a circuit, so as to turn the entire circuit on or
off at pre-set times. I'm hoping it will be small enough that more
than one can be used at the same time.

I konw they make timers in their own metal boxes that can be connected
to a fuse box with conduit or Romx, but I was thinking by now there
might be something smaller. Maybe with a more complicated timer, like
setback thermostat timers keep getting more versatile.

I guess lawnsprinkler timers control low voltage devices, not 110
volts.

Any ideas, please?

Paragon (or equal) timer. If you are running a circuit through it, you need
something at least the size of a junction box. It also has to comply with
wiring codes.

Don't worry about it...The Obamalord will do it for you shortly...The
government will decide when you need power and how much you can use....

I'm fond of the Grasslin timers because of the captive
trippers and simple design. I'm posting a link to one
that you can mount in a single gang handy box next to
your electrical panel. Several of them could be mounted
next to your panel on the wall.

no timers will fit in a breaker main panel, not enough space.

you will have to install a seperate box and timer, avoid the 2 wire
solid state timers, if a bulb burns out it looses what time it is,
same in minor power failures
