Residential loadcenter and circuit breakers

Installation tips

CH & BR plug-on neutral loadcenters and circuit breakers

Green bonding screw

• The green bonding screw

comes unthreaded.

• When required to bond the

ground and neutral, thread the

green bonding screw into case

with 40 in-lbs of torque.

• For applications when the

ground and neutral should

not be bonded, it is recom-

mended that the green screw

is removed entirely and

discarded.

Main breaker loadcenters

and terminal insulators

• Install terminal insulators to

the service entry cable and

line-side lugs of the main

breaker device.

• All 225A and smaller main

breaker loadcenters ship from

the factory with a terminal

insulator kit.

• The terminal insulator kit will

need to be purchased sepa-

rately for main breaker load-

centers greater than 225A.

Ordering a convertible

loadcenter

• To order a convertible loadcen-

ter, select a loadcenter catalog

number with “N” or “E” as

the main device designation.

• “N” indicates convertible load-

center with no main device

installed at factory.

• “E” indicates convertible

loadcenter with main lugs

installed.

Drywall offsets tabs

• For flush mount applications,

utilize the drywall offsets at

the top and bottom on both

sides of the loadcenter.

• Push the tabs out 90 degrees

so that they are perpendicular

to the side of the loadcenter.

• When installing the loadcenter

between studs, the tabs help

provide the proper drywall

offset.

Keyhole hanging feature

• Take advantage of the

keyhole hanging feature for

an easy and hassle free cover

installation.

• Place the top two cover

screws in the loadcenter

case holes. Then, align the

top two cover keyholes with

the top two cover screws to

easily hang the cover.

• The cover keyhole hanging

feature also works for

bottom feed applications.

Torque rating

• The torque rating information

can be found on the loadcen-

ter PUB. Refer to the chart

on the PUB for the specific

torque value required. After

referencing the chart, use a

torque wrench to torque to

the specified value.

BR plug-on neutral (PON) circuit breaker

installation tips

Please follow these specific steps when installing Eaton’s

BR PON circuit breakers.

• Align the breaker “FIN” with loadcenter “SLOT”.

• Please refer to figure 1.

• Rock the breaker back~45° and insert “FOOT” into

backpan.

• Please refer to figure 2.

• While pulling the breaker towards the backpan slot, rotate

down to lock into place.

• Please refer to figure 3. Figure 1

Eaton’s “Rock ‘N’ Lock” feature

provides a safe and secure

connection by easily rocking the

breaker clip onto the redesigned

in-board neutral.

Please note: Install long-body BR breakers (2 pole GFCI, 2 pole

AFCI, or surge) towards the bottom of the BR plug-on neutral

loadcenters below the twin neutral bars.

CH plug-on neutral (PON) circuit breaker

installation tips

Please follow these specific steps when installing Eaton’s

CH PON circuit breakers, across from one another.

• Firmly press the load-side of each breaker all the way

down onto the neutral bar.

• Once the load-side of each breaker is securely attached

to the neutral bar, push down on the line-side of each

breaker attaching it to the bus-stab. This makes for a

complete connection to the bus.

• For the line-side, it is recommended to push down on

each breaker at the same time.

• Verify the load-side meets the neutral bar, and the

line-side is centered within the loadcenter.

• Please refer to figures 1 and 2.

• Once confirmed the CH PON breakers have a secure

connection to the neutral bars and bus stabs, the CH

loadcenter deadfront and cover can be installed.

Please note: As stated on all CH PON loadcenter interior

labels (figure 3), the neutral bar screws are not to be backed

out, and the wire is not to be installed in the neutral bar

terminals beneath the CH PON breakers. Failure to follow

this specific instruction may prevent proper installation.
