disconnecting the breaker from all power sources,
perform the following procedure:
1. Check that all phase sensors are the same type

(current range).

2. Verify that the tap settings on all three phase sen-

sors are identical.

3. Verify that the wiring harness connections to the

sensors have the proper polarity (white lead to

common, black lead to tap), as shown in the

cabling diagram in Figure 21.

4. On ground fault breakers serving four-wire loads,

check that the neutral sensor is properly

connected, as indicated in Figure 21. In particular,

check the following:
a. Verify that the neutral sensor has the same

rating and tap setting as the phase sensors.

b. Verify continuity between the neutral sensor

and its equipment-mounted secondary

disconnect block. Also check for continuity

from the breaker-mounted neutral secondary

disconnect block through to the trip unit wiring

harness connector.

c. If the breaker’s lower studs connect to the

power source, then the neutral sensor must

have its load end connected to the source.

d. Verify that the neutral conductor is carrying

only the neutral current associated with the

breaker’s load current (the neutral is not shared

with other loads).

5. If the preceding steps fail to identify the problem,

then measure the sensor resistances. The appro-

priate values are listed in Table 1. Since the phase

and neutral sensors are electrically identical, their

resistances should agree closely.
