INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR 230/208
CIRCUIT BREAKER KITS
Due to policy of continual product improvements, the right is reserved to change specifications and design without notice.
RECOGNIZE THIS SYMBOL AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION.

Description
The circuit breaker kit provides POWER ON/OFF and
current overprotection function at the unit. The circuit
breaker kit contains the appropriate circuit breaker, replacement access cover for the high voltage section of the
subbase, mounting bracket and clips, and required hardware. Select circuit breaker kits according to unit amperage.
The installation and servicing of this equipment
should be performed by qualified, experienced
technicians.
WARNING
Disconnect electrical power source before
wiring the subbase. Failure to do so may
result in injury or death from electrical
shock. The unit “OFF” switch does not
disconnect all power to the unit.
CAUTION
Use copper conductors only for electrical
connections. The use of other types of
conductors may result in galvanic
corrosion, overheating and resultant
equipment failure.
WARNING
All wiring must comply with applicable
local and national codes. Type and location
of fused disconnect switch(es) must
comply with all applicable codes.

Installation
1. Check circuit breaker for manufacturers name. Select
mounting holes in mounting bracket to match part as
indicated in Figure 1 (GE and Westinghouse use outer
holes). Secure one of the two small mounting clips to
the mounting bracket. Do not fully tighten the mounting screw at this time.
Figure 1
2. Position the circuit breaker on the mounting bracket so
that the locking tabs on the small clip (installed in Step
1) hold the circuit breaker on the mounting bracket.
3. Install the second small clip on the mounting bracket,
locking the circuit breaker on the mounting bracket.
Tighten both mounting screws securely.
4. Disconnect electrical power to the unit (if already
wired).
5. Remove access cover from subbase.
6. Position the entire circuit breaker assembly in the
subbase as shown in Figure 2. Using the two screws
provided, secure the assembly to the subbase back
wall in the subbase high voltage section. The large
compression connections should be on the left (“ON”
to the left, “OFF” to the right).
7. Connect the line voltage to the large compression
terminals (left of breaker). Connect subbase wiring to
the smaller compression connections (right of breaker).
If a ground lug is provided, ground the lug to the unit.
8. Install the circuit breaker guard and the replacement
access cover for the high voltage section. Install the
assembly over the circuit breaker handle using the two
screws removed from the original access cover (Figure 2).
