4. Configuració i instal·lació
This circuit breaker is designed for plug-in installation into compatible Cutler-Hammer CH series load centers. Ensure the load center is de-energized before proceeding.
- Desactivar panell: Locate the main service panel and turn off the main breaker to completely de-energize the load center. Verify power is off using a voltage provador.
- Identifica la ranura: Select an available slot in the Cutler-Hammer CH load center.
- Instal·leu l'interruptor: Align the circuit breaker with the bus bar stab in the load center. Push the breaker firmly onto the bus bar until it is fully seated and clicks into place.
- Connecteu el cable de càrrega: Connect the circuit's hot (load) wire to the terminal screw on the circuit breaker. Refer to Image 2 for wire gauge and torque specifications.
- 14-10 AWG: 20 lb. in.
- 8 AWG: 30 lb. in.
- 6-4 AWG: 40 lb. in.
- 2 10-14 CU ONLY: 30 lb. in.
- Connect Neutral/Ground (if applicable): For a single pole breaker, the neutral and ground wires for the circuit will connect to the neutral bus bar and ground bus bar in the load center, respectively, not directly to the breaker.
- Restaura l'alimentació: Once all connections are secure and verified, close the load center cover. Turn the main breaker back on at the service panel.
- Test Breaker: Turn the newly installed circuit breaker to the "ON" position.
IMPORTANT: All electrical work must comply with national and local electrical codes. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified electrician.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
The circuit breaker controls the flow of electricity to a specific circuit and provides protection against overcurrents.
- Posició ON: When the switch is in the "ON" position, power is supplied to the circuit.
- Posició OFF: When the switch is in the "OFF" position, power to the circuit is disconnected. This is used for manual power cutoff.
- Posició de desplaçament: If an overload or short circuit occurs, the breaker will automatically move to the "TRIP" position (often midway between ON and OFF, or a distinct indicator). This indicates that the breaker has interrupted the circuit to prevent damage.
Reinici d'un interruptor automàtic disparat:
- Identificar la causa: Determine and correct the cause of the trip (e.g., unplug overloaded appliances, fix short circuits).
- Totalment apagat: Push the breaker handle firmly to the "OFF" position. You may feel a click.
- Activar: Empenyeu fermament la maneta de l'interruptor a la posició "ON".
