This is from a Siemens UL-Seminar. Is this 'feeder set-up possibilities' or 'feeder assembly possibilities'? I don't know the subject matter here at all. I have found 'motor feeders' for 'Motorabzweige' and 'load feeders' for 'Verbraucherabzweige'.

feeder assembly options
Explanation:
or assembly options for feeder

This would appear to be the terminology used by Siemens in the English-language versions of their documents, e.g.

Fewer variants, more functionality – the SIRIUS 3RA6 compact starter simplifies the planning and assembly of load feeders, while simultaneously increasing the availability of machines and systems. (page 8)
The solution featuring the largest power range and very flexible assembly options (page 14)

Weniger Varianten, mehr Funktionalität – der SIRIUS Kompaktabzweig 3RA6 erleichtert die Planung und den Aufbau von Verbraucherabzweigen
und erhöht gleichzeitig die Verfügbarkeit von Maschinen und Anlagen. (page 8)
Die Lösung mit dem größten Leistungsbereich bei gleichzeitig flexibelster Aufbauform (page 14)
https://www.automation.siemens.com/cd-static/material/info/e...

Load feeders can be assembled in the system using the contactor base.
To assemble load feeders for reversing starters, the contactor bases can be arranged either below each other (45 mm overall width) or alongside each other (90 mm overall width). (page 54)

Mit Hilfe der Schützsockel können im System Verbraucherabzweige aufgebaut werden.
Beim Aufbau von Wendeabzweigen können die Schützsockel wahlweise untereinander (45 mm Baubreite) oder nebeneinander (90 mm Baubreite) angeordnet werden. (page 54)

However, as it is also possible to find Siemens documents where they use "layout" or " construction" instead of "assembly" for "Aufbau" used in connection with "Abzweig", this may refer simply to "design options", which was certainly my immediate thought when looking at your question, cf.:

Design options
Fuseless load feeders
Fused load feeders
Outgoing motor feeders with and without overload relay
Withdrawable units with and without communication connection (page 16 [18 of 64])
http://www.automation.siemens.com/cd-static/material/info/e2...

Ausführungsmöglichkeiten
Sicherungslose Verbraucherabzweige
Sicherungsbehaftete Verbraucherabzweige
Motorabgänge mit und ohne Überlastrelais
Einschübe mit und ohne Kommunikationsanbindung (page 18 of 64)

In any case, I would go for "options" rather than "possibilities".

branch expansion options


Explanation:
Abzweig is generally taken to be a branch in electrical circuits. The feeder aspect is not necessarily needed here. Expansion here represents how the branch is developed, what equipment is put on it, etc. Without further context to prove otherwise, my suggestion should fit quite well.
