A temporary circuit directory is supplied on the Paint Shield (Figure 1).
•
Neutral wires must terminate at the circuit breaker for all smart
and safety breakers (AF, GF, EP, Dual). However, it is the preferred
method for all circuits.
•
For 2-pole breakers that are 60A or lower, the Neutral wire must be
installed in-between the two phase wires where the “N” is denoted
on the breaker (Figure 2). For 2-Pole breakers greater than 60A, the
Neutral wire must go to the Neutral bar (Figure 3).
•
All non-electronic 2-Pole breakers, as well as -G breakers operate at
both 120/240V and 120/208V.
•
A Leviton Surge Protective Breaker can be installed in any breaker
location to provide whole-panel surge protection, as well as visual
indication of protection status. It also provides overcurrent protection
for the spaces/circuits it inhabits.

NEC®2020 code 3-Wire vs 4-Wire 240V appliance Circuit
Grounding: Many 240V appliances have the Ground and
Neutral wires connected together in the appliance from the
factory. This only works for a 3-wire hook up with no ground
connection. When installing the appliance on a new install
with 3 wires and a ground, the grounds and neutrals must
be separated by removing the ground strap in the appliance.
If the ground strap is left installed, then GFCI breakers will
not reset.
