Siemens ite g3040mb1200 bus swap with a g3030mb1200
While this may appear to be doable - the fact remains that the interior and enclosure are tested, approved and listed by UL / FM / etc. as an entire assembly. Taking from one and replacing with another results in a combination that was not listed. If however, the enclosures of the two panels are identical - then I suppose I would consider doing the same thing. I would be sure to change out the panel cover so that the cat number and info matches the bus.
Just installing the 200 amp
All neutrals and all ground wires connect to the neutral bus. Where you connect them on that bus is simply a matter of being tidy and leaving room for future work. Of course your physical ground (the one going to the copper rod pounded into the earth) must be connected to this bar too.
Not all Breakers in Breaker Box working,
POSSIBLE THE BREAKERS ARE WORKING AND THE NEUTRAL IS OPEN , MOVE ONE OF THE WIRES FROM A BREAKER YOU KNOW TO BE WORKING ,THEN REPLACE IT WITH ONE THAT IS NOT IF CIRCUIT COMES UP THE BREAKER IS NOT WORKING IF IT DOES NOT THE PROBLEM IS THE NEUTRAL WIRE FOR THAT CIRCUIT MOST WILL BE WHITE WIRES ENTERING PANEL , IF THE BREAKER ALTERNATE WORKING MOVING DOWN THE BUSS SAY #1 WORKS #2DOESNT #3WORKS #4 DOESNT ECT ON THE SAME SIDE OF PANEL YOU HAVE A DEAD BUSS ,CAUSED BY BAD MAIN OR THE FEED FROM METER BASE ,THEN YOU SHOULD CALL ELECTRICIAN
Siemens QF230A keeps tripping after installation.
So likely you have a 3 wire dryer cord and a 3 wire branch circuit. The dryer neutral is bonded to the dryer frame and the third wire of the dryer plug.
There were code exceptions for dryers and stoves that allowed timer motor circuits to use the neutral as a current carrier and frame ground.
To use the GFCI for the dryer you will be required to add an additional conductor (new 3 wire+ground cable) and separate the neutral to frame bond in the dryer and use a 4 wire dryer cord.
Likely you also have some GFCI single pole breakers and replaced ungrounded receptacles with grounded (another code exception) and they work OK. The dryer and stove are different as there is current on the third wire where as on the ungrounded receptacle GFCI there is no 3rd wire.
In breif, the neutral (current carrier conductor) from the dryer must be isolated from the dryer frame and dryer ground (fault current carrier conductor).
Or just leave it the way it was.
Check with local authority with jurisdiction for local code requirements.

MY WIFE HIT HER SHOULDER
Flip each breaker all the way off and then all the way back on.. If that doesn't fix the problem, look for a tripped GFI (go around and press the reset button on any outlets that have the buttons "test" and "reset"). If that still doesn't work, you should probably contact an electrician.
