installation procedure.

Introduction

The MD and ND Frame circuit breaker line includes
SMD6, SHMD6, SCMD6, SND6, SHND6 and
SCND6 circuit breaker types. These devices are
rated for operating voltages up to 600 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

Installation

The MD and ND Frame circuit breaker devices are
for use in individual enclosures, panelboards or
other approved equipment.
The installation procedure consists of inspecting,
attaching required accessories, mounting the de-
vice and connecting and torquing the line and load
wire connectors.
Mounted hardware and unmounted wire connec-
tors (where required) are available as separate cata-
log items.

Circuit Breaker Preparation

A. Before installing or servicing the breaker, turn

off and lock out all power to prevent incidental or
accidental contact.

B. Make sure that the device is suitable for the in-

stallation by comparing nameplate ratings with
system requirements. Inspect the device for com-
pleteness and check for any damage before
mounting.

Fig. 1

NOTE:

Accessory installation should be complete
before the circuit breaker is mounted and
connected. (See installation instructions
supplied with the Accessory before pro-
ceeding.)

C. Depress the red trip button (See Fig. 4) or turn

the breaker off before installation.

D. To  mount the device, perform the following steps:

1.  For enclosures, panelboards and switch

boards manufactured by Siemens Energy &
Automation, Inc., follow instructions provided
with the equipment.
