Installation Instructions
The following instructions are for the installation of a Siemens 200% rated neutral kit in a Revised P1, 400 amp
Panelboard. The parts provided in this kit are for connection to a 1-phase 3-wire system or a 3-phase 4-wire
system. The 42NLK**A kits are for 200% rated neutrals sometimes required for panels supplying loads with
high harmonic loads, such as personal computers. Caution: The 200% neutral requires that the line cable and
connectors be doubled, for example instead of (1) cable for 400 amp panel use (2) cables. This kit provides a
single 600 kcmil line lug to be used in conjunction with the 600 kcmil neutral line lug supplied with the main lug
or main breaker assembly installed in the panelboard to meet the double cabling requirement. Kits include
42NLK30A, 42NLK42A & 42NLK54A for panelboards with 30, 42 & 54 circuits, respectively. (NOTE: Use
42NLK54A for 66 circuit panelboards.)
