10. Reference Figure 7
If branch neutral terminal strips (Item 18) are
NOT already installed -- or are full -- then the
branch neutral terminal strip (included) must
be installed. Depending upon the feed location,
the branch neutral can be mounted near the
bottom of the Z-rails -- or mirrored to the top --
on a branch neutral connector. Panelboards
should have one mounted already. On Switch-
boards, mount the branch neutral connector
(Item 17) on the neutral bus using (2) 1/4”-20
screws (Item 15). Mount the neutral terminal
strip (Item 18) on either side of the branch
neutral connector using (2) #8-32 screws
(Item 16). Torque all hardware as follows:
For 1/4”-20 screws, refer to torque on label.
For #8-32 screws, torque to 35 lb-in.
INSTALLING THE NEUTRAL COMPONENTS
12. Reference Figure 8
Install the 3.75” cover plate (Item 7) by aligning
it over the 3.75” of selected unit space and
related breakers. Use a 1/4”-20 x 3/8” screw
(Item 14) on each side of the cover plate and
drive into the deadfront rails. Torque all hardware
as specified on the rear of the deadfront. Mark
the circuit ID cards (Item 8) as desired and
mount them to the cover plate by placing each
behind a clear card holder (Item 9) and pushing
the two into the proper pair of holes in the cover
plate next to the proper circuit. Repeat for each
location. Finally, use blank fillers (Item 10) at
every location that doesn’t have a breaker
penetrating through the cover plate.
NOTE: Other cover plates may be required for
proper fit. See filler plate kits listed on the rear
of the deadfront.
INSTALLING COVER PLATE AND FILLERS
13. Ensure that any bus or breaker hardware is
torqued as specified on the rear of the deadfront.
Then replace all the cover plates and gutter
covers. Finally, ensure any fillers are in place
BEFORE re-energizing the equipment.

Installation Instructions
The following instructions are for the installation of Siemens Type GB2 breakers (NGB2, HGB2 or LGB2) as
branch devices in a Switchboard or Type P4 or Type P5 Panelboard. The parts provided in this kit connect
Type GB2 breakers to 3-phase/3-wire or 3-phase/4-wire systems ONLY. Kit SGB2 is for shallow (P4)
installations; kit SGB2D is for deep (P5 and Switchboard Distribution Section) installations. This kit requires
3-3/4” of unit space. NOTE: The breakers are NOT included in this kit and must be purchased separately.

DANGER
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause death or
serious injury.
Keep out.
Qualified personnel only.
Disconnect and lock off all
power before working on
this equipment.
1. Lock off power supplying this equipment
before working on it.
7. Reference Figure 4
Locate a 0.228” diameter hole in the left Z-rail
1.88” below the top of the empty unit space
selected. Insert a 1/4”-20 x 3/8” screw (Item 14)
through the barrier support bracket (Item 5)
mounting hole and into the selected hole in the
Z-rail (orienting the bracket as shown). Repeat
this for the second mounting bracket. Tighten
these two screws (Item 14).
3. Refer to Figure 2
To mount a Siemens Type GB2 circuit breaker,
3-3/4” of empty unit space is required. To locate
the proper mounting position, measure from the
top deadfront support to the intended location of
the empty unit space (filler) on the deadfront.
Transfer this dimension from the deadfront
support along the Z-rail and mark. This will be
the unit space (as shown in Figures 3 & 4). After
marking the Z-rail, remove the deadfront rails.
4 . If an existing branch module occupies the same
location chosen for this kit, remove all of its
devices, components and parts.
INSTALLING THE RUNBACKS
6. Refer to Figure 3
Locate (2) 0.228” diameter holes in the A-phase
bus 1.25” down from the top of the 3.75” empty
unit space selected. Insert (2) 1/4”-20 screws (see
mounting hardware kit instructions located in Item 11
for the proper length) through the two mounting
holes in the A/C runback (Item 1) and into the (2)
selected holes in the A-phase bus (orienting the
A/C strap as shown) and tighten. Repeat this step
to mount the second runback to the C-phase bus.
Insert one 1/4”-20 screw (Item 11) through the
mounting hole in the B-phase runback (Item 3) and
into the proper 0.228” hole located in the B-phase
bus, 1.25” up from the bottom of the 3.75” empty
unit space (orienting the B-phase runback as shown)
and tighten. Torque all hardware as specified on
the rear of the deadfront.
INSTALLING THE MOUNTING BRACKETS
9. Reference Figure 6
Align the bottom of the Type GB2 Breaker with the
top of the barrier. Slide the breaker along until the
notch on the bottom of the breaker fully engages
the edge of the barrier (as shown in Figure 6a).
Once fully engaged, use #10-24 x 1/2” screws
(Item 13) to secure the breaker tabs to the properly
aligned straps. Torque all hardware as specified
on the rear of the deadfront.
INSTALLING THE TYPE GB2 BREAKER
8. Reference Figure 5
Set the top barrier (Item 6) over the two barrier
support brackets (Item 5) such that the barrier
mounting holes align with the holes on the brackets.
Insert a #10-24 x 3/8” screw (Item 12) on each
side of the barrier and tighten. To install the
B-phase strap (Item 4), locate it in the center
opening such that the center hole lines up with
the mounting hole on the B-phase runback. Drive
a 1/4“-20 x 5/8” screw (Item 15) thru the strap and
into the runback and tighten. For the A & C-phase
straps (Item 2) take one and angle the mounting
side under the barrier such that the strap
mounting hole aligns with the appropriate hole in
the A-phase runback and the center hole of the
strap sits on the barrier locating pin (Figure 5a).
Drive a 1/4”-20 x 5/8” screw (Item 15) through the
strap and into the runback and tighten. Repeat
this for the C-phase strap as shown. Torque all
hardware as specified on the rear of the deadfront.
