  The maximum width non-standard wire connector (tang-type) or bus bar connector that 

can be used without reducing electrical clearance and creepage distances between 

phases is 1.690 inches.

  No hardware or connector should be installed in a manner to reduce the electrical 

clearance between the underneath side of the phase termination (line or load) and 

ground without the addition of supplementary insulation.

  The metric conductor sizes indicated are the minimum/maximum sizes that can be 

inserted in the terminal. Larger size conductors may be required to satisfy ampacity 

requirements for local installation rules.

3. Manual Operation and Thermal-Magnetic 
Trip Unit Adjustment 

Manual Operation 

The circuit breaker handle and the Push-To-Trip button in the trip unit 

control manual operation of the circuit breaker . The circuit breaker 

handle has three positions, two of which are shown on the cover 

with raised lettering to indicate ON and OFF . On the handle, ON, 

OFF and Trip are also shown by a color-coded strip for each circuit 

breaker handle position: red for ON, white for Tripped and green for 

OFF (see 

Figure 10

) . 

Figure 10. Circuit Breaker Manual Controls.

Circuit Breaker Reset 

After a trip operation, moving the circuit breaker handle to the Reset 

(extreme OFF) position resets the circuit breaker . 

otee:

N

In the event of a thermal (overload) trip the circuit breaker cannot be 

reset immediately . In a breaker with a thermal-magnetic type trip unit the 

thermal element needs to cool (up to approximately five minutes) before it 

can be reset . 

No circuit breaker should be reclosed until the cause of trip is 

known and the situation rectified . 

PUSH-TO-TRIP Button 

The PUSH-TO-TRIP button operates the circuit breaker tripping func-

tion and may be periodically used to exercise the operating mecha-

nism . In thermal magnetic trip units, the button is designed to be 

operated by a small screw- driver . 

Thermal-Magnetic Trip Unit Adjustment 

The magnetic element of each pole of the trip unit is adjusted by 

rotating the adjustment buttons on the front of the trip unit with a 

screwdriver . The buttons have several settings as indicated on the 

nameplate with values in multiples of the trip unit ampere rating (I

n

) . 

To adjust the setting, rotate each button clockwise until arrow on 

button points to desired setting . The molded case switch is set at 

the factory (at 8X) and is not field adjustable .

Interchangeable Trip Units 

For additional information on thermal-magnetic trip units, refer to
