Internal accessory installation in any type of circuit
breaker should be done before the circuit breaker

is

mounted and connected. Refer to individual
accessory instruction leaflets for specific installation
instructions on field installable accessories.

2-1. Compare nameplate data with existing equipment

ratings and system requirements to make sure that

the circuit breaker is suitable for the intended instal-

lation. Prior to mounting, confirm that the circuit
breaker has not been damaged during transit or ini-

tial handling.

2-2.

To install trip unit and any internal accessories,

remove installed cover screws and cover.

Note: The circuit breaker handle must be

in the

tripped or OFF position to remove the cover.

Instructions for installing the trip unit and

accessories are supplied with the devices.

2-3. If not already installed, mount trip unit and accesso-

ries (if required) in circuit breaker frame. Rating
plug must be installed in electronic trip units.

Note: When required to be removed or replaced,

stationary interphase barriers can only be installed
or removed with circuit breaker in the tripped or open
position.

After the trip unit and any internal accessories are

installed, and with the circuit breaker in the tripped
position, make sure that stationary interphase barri-

ers are properly installed in base. Install cover and
secure with pan-head screws. Eight screws are

used for two and three pole circuit breakers. Ten

screws are used for four pole circuit breakers.
Torque to 20-22 Ib-in (2.26-2.49

If not already installed, mount wire connecting ter-
minals as shown in Fig. 2-1. Secure the terminals

to the circuit breaker using two pan-head slotted
screws and lockwashers. Torque to 6 to 8 Ib-ft (8.14
to 10.85

With the circuit breaker mounted

and before the conductors are installed and con-
ductor clamping screws inserted, the terminal

mounting screws may be checked for correct

torque.

WARNING

THE VOLTAGES IN ENERGIZED EQUIPMENT CAN

CAUSE DEATH

OR SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.

BEFORE MOUNTING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IN AN

Note: Depending on the equipment configuration, the

circuit breaker can be mounted using different styles
of hardware. The following steps describe how to
mount the circuit breaker using standard hardware.
When special hardware

is needed (for example, with

the motor operator), the instruction leaflet describing
the accessory also describes the special mounting
arrangements.

2-6. To mount the circuit breaker, perform the following

steps:

a. For individual surface mounting, drill mounting

panel using the drilling plan shown in Fig. 2-2.
For panelboard mounting, only load end sup-
port mounting holes are required. For deadfront
cover applications, cut out cover to correct
escutcheon dimensions, see Fig.

b. If circuit breaker includes factory or field

installed internal accessories, make sure

accessory wiring is accessible when the circuit
breaker is mounted.

Note: Labels with accessory connection schematic

diagrams are provided on the side of the circuit
breaker.

C.

d.

Position circuit breaker on mounting surface.

Install circuit breaker mounting screws and

washers. Tighten screws firmly, but do not
exceed 28 Ib-in (3
