For adjustable thermal trip units, the magnetic setting is a multiple 

of the maximum thermal setting. For Vdc applications, the magnetic 

tripping values may exceed the Vac values by 42%.

2. Installation

The installation procedure consists of inspecting the circuit breaker 

and, as applicable, installing the trip unit and rating plug, accesso-

ries, interphase barriers and terminals; mounting the circuit breaker; 

connecting the line and load conductors; torquing terminals; and 

attaching terminal shields. Circuit breaker frames, trip units, acces-

sories, mounting hardware, and unmounted terminals may be sup-

plied in separate packages. To install the circuit breaker, perform the 

following steps.

NOTICE

IF REQUIRED, 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.

2-1. Make sure that the circuit breaker is suitable for the intended 

installation by comparing nameplate data with existing equipment 

ratings and system requirements. lnspect the circuit breaker for 

completeness, and check for damage before mounting. Uninstalled 

cover mounting hardware is supplied in a plastic bag with the circuit-

breaker frame. (See 

Fig. 6

.)

2-2. Remove installed cover screws and cover.

NOTICE

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE TRIP UNIT AND ACCESSORIES IN 

THE K-FRAME CIRCUIT BREAKER ARE SUPPLIED WITH EACH ITEM.

2-3. If not already installed, mount trip unit and accessories (if 

required) in circuit breaker frame.

 CAUTION

IF REMOVED AND REINSTALLED, THREAD-FORMING SCREWS WILL TRY 

TO REFORM THE THREADS IN THE BASE. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN EVERY 

TIME A THREAD-FORMING SCREW IS USED TO ENSURE THE SCREW 

STARTS IN THE ORIGINAL THREADS. DAMAGED THREADS CAN RESULT IN 

IMPROPER CIRCUIT BREAKER COVER RETENTION.

2-4. Replace cover and install pan-head screws followed by thread-

forming screws as shown in

 Fig. 7

. Torque the cover screws to 

18-23 lb-in (2-2.6 N.m.).

NOTICE

WHEN USING STEP-TYPE TERMINALS (CATALOG NO. TA401K, TA402K, 

TA400K OR T400K), THE TERMINAL COVER SUPPLIED WITH THE TERMI-

NALS MUST BE INSTALLED ON THE CIRCUIT BREAKER AS SHOWN IN FIG. 

8. WARNING LABEL SUPPLIED WITH THE KIT MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE 

CIRCUIT BREAKER FRONT COVER.

2-5. If not already installed, mount terminals as shown in 

Fig. 9

Secure the terminals to the circuit breaker using a 7/32 inch socket 

wrench and torque to 6-8 Ib-ft (8-11 N.m). After mounting the cir-

cuit breaker and before installation of the conductors, the terminal 

mounting screw can be checked or retightened through the terminal 

when the conductor screw is removed. If Warning label is supplied 

with terminal, place on upper portion of circuit breaker cover.
