Installing 240 Volt (2 pole) Circuits

EmerGen Switch products provide circuits for the connection of 240 volt
appliances that are connected to 2 pole branch circuit breakers in your load
center. These EmerGen Switch circuits for 240 volt operation have a handle tie
included with the switch that ties two circuit selector switches C & D together.
If you do not wish to use the designated circuits as 2 pole circuits, simply
remove the handle tie by removing the two screws.

a) The red EmerGen Switch “C” wire is trimmed, stripped and securely installed

into one side of the 2 pole circuit breaker.

b) The black EmerGen Switch “C” wire and one of the hot wires from the circuit

breaker are placed up the side of the load center. Insert both wires into a

yellow wire connector and twist tightly. Push the wires back into the wiring

compartment of the load center.

c) The red EmerGen Switch “D” wire is trimmed, stripped and securely installed

into the remaining side of the 2 pole circuit breaker.

d) The black EmerGen Switch “D” wire and the remaining hot wire from the

circuit breaker are placed up the side of the load center. Insert both wires

into a yellow wire connector and twist tightly. Push the wires back into the

wiring compartment of the load center.

Note: For this example, a 125 amp panel is used for illustration purpose only
