GE Industrial Solutions Combination Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker - Manual

Installer Instructions
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death, personal injury, or property damage.
• This circuit breaker is intended for use on single-phase
grounded 120 Vac 2-wire branch circuits.
• Can be used with a shared neutral circuit. Refer to
DET-719, “Applying 1-pole Combination AFCIs to
Shared Neutral Circuits”.
• This equipment must be installed and serviced only by
a qualified electrician.
WARNING: Turn off power to main breaker before
beginning installation. Failure to do so will risk electrical
shock and possible death, personal injury, or property
damage.
Install the Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker using the following
procedure:
1. Open the Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker by moving its handle
firmly to the OFF position.
2. Install the Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker into the load center
(see connection diagram).
A. Connect the coiled white “pigtail” wire from the Arc-
Fault Circuit Breaker to the panel or enclosure neutral
bus terminal and secure it tightly. Uncoil pigtail as
necessary.
B. Connect the white (neutral) load wire to the terminal
side of the circuit breaker, identified by a silver-colored
terminal screw, labeled
LOAD NEUTRAL .
C. Connect black (hot) wire to circuit breaker terminals
labeled LOAD , identified by a gold-colored terminal
screw.
3. Plug in or bolt on the circuit breaker into the desired pole
position.
4. Test the Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker using the test rocker
switch on the front of the breaker. Follow Test Procedures
as indicated in next section.
5. See Troubleshooting Guide for the troubleshooting method
to be used for a tripped Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker.
Warning: Do not reverse-feed or back-wire. Do not subject to megger, high-voltage, or high-pot tests. Remove the circuit
breaker before high-potting occurs on the circuit or the system.
Test Procedures (AFCI circuit breakers should be tested regularly, at least once per month.)
Note: refer to DEH41133 for AFCI Circuit Breakers (AFCI breakers will have an “AF” in the suffix of the catalog number)
The test feature allows the homeowner to test the arc detection capability by depressing a rocker switch in two directions. The
breaker has passed the test if the
TRIP flag appears in the window.
Parallel Arc Test: Rotate the test switch in the direction labeled “PAR ARC TEST” to check the ability of the Arc-Fault Circuit
Breaker to detect high current arcing line-to-neutral or line-to-ground.
Series Arc Test: Rotate the test switch in the direction labeled “SER ARC TEST” to check the ability of the Arc-Fault Circuit
Breaker to detect low current arcing in series with the load.
CAUTION: The Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker must be supplied with power from the load center in order for the tests to
function properly. If the power is on and either of these tests fails to trip, the Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker may be unable to
detect arcs. The circuit breaker is defective and should be replaced.
