Rev. C
DANGER! Hazardous voltage. Can cause death or
serious injury. Turn off and lock out power supply
before installing PB-Series GFCI Breaker.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• The GFCI will not protect a person against a line to
line shock hazard.
• To minimize false tripping: Do not connect to
swimming pool equipment installed prior to adoption
of the 1965 National Electrical code.
• Do not ground neutral on the Load Side of the GFCI.
• Test GFCI once a month. See test instructions
below.
• Not for use in portable or cord-connected
applications. Use only in permanently installed
enclosures.
• Do not subject to megger, high voltage or hi-pot test.
Remove ground fault circuit breaker before hi-potting
occurs on the circuit or system. (Ref. Sect. 550-12,
NEC).
• Do not reverse Line and Load connections.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
1. The GFCI Breaker should be installed by a qualified
electrician.
2. Turn “OFF” and lock out the power to enclosure in
which GFCI is to be installed.
3. Turn “OFF” the GFCI Breaker handle.
4. Feed wires connected to the Load(s) through the
“Donut” and connect to Load Terminal(s) of the
Breaker and the Load Neutral to the Panel neutral
Bar (See Fig. A for wiring schemes).
5. Connect corresponding Hot wires directly to the
Breaker Line Terminals.
6. Connect the white “pigtail” neutral wire of GFCI
module to the panel Neutral Bar (see Fig. A).
7. Mount GFCI Breaker to front panel and mount front
panel to enclosure.

8. Turn “ON” power and turn “ON” breaker handle.
Test the GFCI as per test instructions below.
9. Place Monthly Test Reminder label in a convenient
place near the or on the panel and instruct
equipment users on test procedures and the
importance of performing and recording monthly
tests.
TEST INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Turn on the power to the panel.
2. Turn “ON” the GFCI breaker handle.
3. Depress the “TEST MONTHLY” button. This will
cause the handle to move to the “OFF” position
indicating that the GFCI is functioning properly. If the
handle fails to move to the “OFF” position the unit
MUST be replaced.
4. Restore power by moving the Breaker handle to the
“ON” position.
5. This test is to be performed on a monthly basis and
recorded on the “Monthly Test Reminder” label.
WHEN GFCI TRIPS:
The PB-Series GFCI breaker opens the circuit when
there is an overload or ground fault condition. When
tripping occurs perform the following steps:
1. Some faults are self-clearing. Try resetting the
breaker once.
2. If breaker continues to trip, the device is performing
its intended protection function, which means that a
hazardous condition could exist. A qualified
electrician should be called to evaluate the circuit.
