Step 4: Phase, Neutral and Ground Conductors
WARNING: Use ONLY approved fittings and clamps to avoid
damage to wires.
a. Bring the phase (J), neutral (K) and ground (L) conductors
into the enclosure through the overhead conduit opening or a
bottom-feed knockout.
b. Determine whether or not the application requires the use of a
main circuit breaker (M) (fig. 5), or if main lugs (N) (fig. 6) can
be used based on the local electrical codes.
c. Connect the phase (J), neutral (K) and ground (L) conductors
to appropriate terminals and torque to spec in the terminations
table (fig. 5 or 6).
d. If installing with a main circuit breaker (M), also install the
two (x2) terminal covers (O) that have been provided (fig. 7).
e. When installing this enclosure as the service entrance, the
bonding strap (P) MUST BE installed (fig. 8). Torque to 20
in-lbs.
f.
When installing this enclosure as a sub panel, DO NOT install
the bonding strap (P).
NOTE: For Service Equipment, apply “SERVICE DISCONNECT”
label (provided) to trim, near main breaker handle.
NOTE: For Branch Equipment, apply “MAIN” label (provided)
to trim, near main breaker handle.
Step 5: Branch Circuit Breakers
WARNING: Leviton circuit breakers MUST BE used with a
Leviton circuit breaker enclosure.
a. Strip and connect the load phase (Q) and load neutral (R)
wires to the load terminals (S) and ground wire to the ground
bus (T) of the circuit breaker enclosure (fig. 9). Strip wires
and torque load terminals to spec in the terminations table.
NOTE: Ensure that the main breaker is in the OFF position
before installing any branch circuit breakers.
NOTE: Ensure that all branch circuit breakers are in the OFF
position before installing into the panel.
b. Align the hooks and guides (U) of the branch circuit breaker
with the panel and press until breaker snaps into place (fig. 10).
Step 6: Installing Deadfront
