Use the same 1/8-inch screwdriver to tighten the M4 screw and 

secure the rating plug in the trip unit. The maximum torque on the 

mounting screw is 15 in-oz (0.1 Nm). Close the rating plug door.

The three current sensors are installed at the rear of the circuit 

breaker on the lower terminals. A cover with sensor rating  

viewing windows covers the sensors and is held in place with 

screws (

Figure 73

). Remove the cover by removing the screws.

If the circuit breaker is a drawout configuration, the lower primary 

disconnect finger clusters and the vertical adapters must first be 

removed from frame sizes up to 2500A. On the 3200A frame, both 

the upper and lower primary disconnects and vertical adapters must 

be removed. Each primary disconnect finger cluster is removed  

by loosening the two hex-head bolts with a 10 mm wrench. These 

bolts do not have to be completely removed to slide the primary 

disconnects off of the terminals. Remove the vertical adapters next 

from the circuit breaker terminals by removing the two or three 

10 mm bolts holding them in place (

Figure 74

). 

The current sensors are removed by pulling them off of the  

terminals and unplugging the wiring plugs from the sensors  

(

Figure 74

). 

Install new current sensors by connecting the wiring plugs to the 

sensors and sliding the sensors over the terminals. Reinstall the 

cover over the sensors and secure in place with the screws  

previously removed.
Reinstall the previously removed vertical adapters to the terminals 

using the removed hardware and 

40 ft-lb (55 Nm)

 of tightening 

torque. Make sure the vertical adapters are square to the rear  

housing. Slip the primary disconnects on to the vertical adapters. 

Make sure the primary disconnects are fully inserted on to the  

vertical adapters. Tighten the two retention bolts to 

40 in-oz (5 Nm)

 

of torque. Properly engaged and secured retention bolts should 

engage the slots or holes in the vertical adapters.
