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.
