- Accés al panell: Traieu amb cura la coberta del quadre elèctric.
- Col·locació de l'interruptor: Identify an available space in the load center for a 2-inch double-pole breaker. The BR250 is designed to plug directly onto the bus bar.
- Cablejat:
- Connect the two hot wires (typically black and red for 240V circuits) to the screw terminals on the circuit breaker. Ensure the wires are stripped to the correct length and inserted fully into the terminals.
- Tighten the terminal screws to the specified torque. Refer to the breaker's label for torque specifications.
- Connect the neutral wire to the neutral bus bar and the ground wire to the ground bus bar in the panel.
- Muntatge: Align the circuit breaker with the bus bar and firmly push it into place until it is securely seated.
- Remuntatge del panell: Replace the panel cover, ensuring all wires are clear and not pinched.

Instruccions de funcionament
The Eaton BR250 circuit breaker features a simple toggle switch for operation.
- Encendre: Push the toggle handle firmly to the "ON/I" position.
- Apagar: Push the toggle handle firmly to the "OFF/O" position.
- Interruptor disparat: If an overcurrent or short circuit occurs, the breaker will automatically trip to the center position (between ON and OFF). To reset a tripped breaker, first push the handle completely to the "OFF/O" position, then push it to the "ON/I" position. If the breaker immediately trips again, there is still a fault in the circuit that needs to be addressed by a qualified electrician.
Manteniment
Els interruptors automàtics generalment requereixen un manteniment mínim. Tanmateix, es recomana una inspecció periòdica per garantir un funcionament segur continu.
- Inspecció visual: Annually, with the main power off, visually inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of damage, discoloration, or loose connections.
- Neteja del panell: Keep the electrical panel area clean and free from dust, debris, and obstructions.
- Verificació professional: Consider having a qualified electrician inspect your electrical panel and circuit breakers every few years.
