3–1 Introduction

These instructions cover the field installation of internally
mounted electrical accessories. They are UL listed for use
in all 800–2000 A frame Power Break® circuit breakers
with MicroVersaTrip® trip units. These accessories may
also be installed in 800–1600 A frame Power Break break-
ers with MagneTrip™ trip units, but the UL listing is
voided.

The control leads of internally mounted accessories exit in
pigtail form from the side of the breaker. These leads are
terminated at the secondary disconnect points of draw-out
breakers or at optional terminal blocks when specified for
stationary-mounted breakers. All leads are color coded as
listed in Table 4.
