Page 18: Mounting Directly To A Shelf
Page 14 MOUNTING DIRECTLY TO A SHELF The shelf should be flat and level within ± 0.5 mm (± 0.02 in.). If there are any noticeable gaps between the breaker and the shelf, fill them in using flat washers as spacers. Check to make sure the breaker On-Off indicator shows OFF (green), then mount it by following the steps below:... -
Page 19: Main Circuit Cable Connections
INSTALLATION MAIN CIRCUIT CABLE CONNECTIONS Cables which connect to the circuit breaker should be routed to avoid interference with sharp edges and moving parts. Minimum bending radius for the type of cable used should be observed. Power cables should be braced and/or laced to withstand short-circuit forces wherever such cables are unsupported. -
Page 20: Ground Connections
Page 16 GROUND CONNECTIONS The circuit breaker must be grounded in accordance with the requirements of the National Electrical Code, Article 250 or applicable local standards. Proper grounding WARNING connections must be made to the circuit breaker before incoming power is applied. It is very important that the circuit breaker and its enclosure be adequately grounded to protect the operator from injury in the event of short circuits... -
Page 21: Control Circuit Connections
INSTALLATION CONTROL CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS Control circuit wiring is connected to the terminal block on the top of the operating mechanism (Fig. 20). Connect control wires in accordance with the appropriate wiring diagram shown in Fig. 28 through Fig. 31 in the OPERATION section of this manual. -
