This instruction leaflet gives procedures for installation 

and field testing of N-frame circuit breakers and describes 

the different trip unit characteristics.  For this publication, 

the term circuit breaker shall also include the molded case 

switch.

INSTALLATION

The installation procedure consists of inspecting the circuit 

breaker, installing the accessories and terminals and, if 

required, mounting the circuit breaker, connecting the line 

and load conductors and accessory wiring, and adjusting 

trip settings.  Circuit breakers, accessories, and terminals. 

may be supplied in separate packages.  To install the circuit 

breaker, perform the following steps:

2.1  Inspection

Make sure the circuit breaker is suitable for the intended 

installation by comparing nameplate date with existing 

equipment ratings and system requirements.  Inspect the 

circuit breaker for completeness and check for damage 

before mounting.

2.2  Accessory Installation

Note:  If required, internal accessory installation in 

any type of circuit breaker should be done before the 

circuit breaker is mounted and connected.  Refer to the 

individual accessory instruction leaflets listed above.

Terminals are not included.

Terminals must be purchased separately.

For bus connections use:

 

M12 - 1.75 bolts for Metric Style front mounted bus 

connections, socket cap screws are recommended.
