• Circuit breaker frames SGDA, SGHA, SGLA and
SGPA
Installation
1. Prepare the circuit breaker(s). Before installing the
breakers, install line-end mounting screws into the ON
side of each breaker. Place the breaker vertically on a
flat surface with the ON side up and the OFF side
down, as shown in Figure 1. Install #10-32 pan-head
screws into the ON-side holes on the top of the
breaker. Install #10-32 inserts into the ON-side holes
on the bottom of the breaker. Using two screw drivers,
tighten both the insert and the screw to 20–25 in-lb.
2. Phase balancing for two-pole devices on three-phase
systems. Reposition the bus clip assembly from A or C
phase to B phase, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
Remove the screws in the bus clip assembly and move
the bus clip to the B-phase position. Fasten the bus
clip assembly in the new location with the slotted hexhead SEMS screws provided and tighten to 27–32 inlb.

3. Prepare the breaker module (for two breakers only).
Before installing the breakers on the module, remove the
barriers and screws, as shown in Figure 4.

5. Install the center barrier. The center barrier must be
installed after the breaker has been secured to the
module. Slide the center barrier onto the breaker, as
shown in Figure 6 for a single breaker and in Figure 7 for
two breakers . Secure the center ba rrier with two threa dcutting screws into each breaker and tighten to 10 in-lb.

4. Install the circuit breaker(s). Place the Belleville washers
and hex-head screws into the line straps of the circuit
breaker, as shown in Figure 5. Position the ON side of the
breaker on the module, as shown in F igure 5. Align the
hex-head scr ew s in th e stu d -p ost h ol es a nd tigh te n t o 90 –
110 in-lb. Fasten the OFF side of the breaker to the
mounting brackets with the round-head SEMS screws
and flat washers and tighten to 40–50 in-lb. Repeat the
procedure for a second breaker.

8. Filler plate kits. Install filler plate kit AFP4SGC on the
module.
Attention – Procedure for Aluminum
Terminations
1. Strip the insulation, being careful to not nick the wire.
2. Clean the wire strands with a wire brush.
3. Thoroughly coat the stripped conductor with a
suitable antioxidant compound, such as ALNOX or
PENETROX A13.
4. Insert the conductor and tighten the connector screw
to the indicated torque on the rating label.
