These instructions apply to the following catalog numbers:
Circuit breaker modules AMC6EB, AMC4EB,
AMC6EL, AMC6EBS, AMC4EBS, and AMC4SE
Circuit breaker frames TEB, TED, THED, TEL,
SEDA, SEHA, SELA, and SEPA
Installation
1. Phase balancing for two-pole devices on three-phase
systems. To balance the panelboard load, remove the
screws on the appropriate bus clip, reposition the bus
clip as shown in Figure 1, then install and tighten the
screws to 27–32 in-lb.
Figure 1. Repositioning the bus clip to balance the load.
2. Prepare the module. Remove the protective caps or
insulating tape only from the tops of the stud posts to
which the circuit breaker is to be attached, as shown
in Figure 2. Fasten the filler supports, as shown in
Figure 3, with #10-32 x 3/4" hex-head screws tightened
to 15–20 in-lb.

3. Install the circuit breaker. Remove the lug cover, if
present. Place the ON side of the breaker over the stud
posts, as shown in Figure 4. Secure the breaker to the
module with #10-32 screw and washer assemblies and
#8-32 x 23/4" screws with cup washers. After all screws
are in place, tighten the #10-32 screws to 27–32 in-lb
and the #8-32 screws to 15–20 in-lb. Replace the lug
cover, if present.
