5.4 Connecting DC Load Cables to Breaker/Fuse Circuitry
Refer to guidelines supplied with the load equipment. Distribution cables are typically sized to provide a 0.5 V
loop drop at full load as well as meeting ampacity requirements of the protection fuse or circuit breaker.
5.4.1 Before You Begin:
1. Cut cables to length and terminate with a two-hole lug:
x 3-pole AM breaker—3/8" diameter on 1" center
x 1-pole, 2-pole AM breaker or TLS/TPS fuse holder— 1/4" diameter on 5/8" center
2. Identify each cable with a label that indicates its location within the BDFB.
3. Remove the top Kydex cover.
5.4.2 Load Cables to Breakers
1. Route the load cables through the top or bottom of the BDFB.
2. Remove the protective live terminal cover.
3. If using 2-pole or 3-pole breakers (Figure 13), remove the Insulating materials between adjacent breaker
connections.
4. Connect the cables to the BDFB as shown in Figure 14 on page 24.
Use the internal cable tie bars for strain relief.
5. Neatly group cables with tie wraps as shown in Figure 15 on page 25.
