X 1.25” machine screw (item 6) and belleville washer (item 10)
through each of the three contacts on the load side of the
breaker and into the two 0.344” diameter holes at the end of
the three phase straps (item, 7, 8, and 9). Insert two 1/4-20
X 4-1/4” screws (item 5) into the two mounting holes at the line
side of the breaker and into the two 0.228” diameter holes
in the support barrier (item 18) and tighten. Torque the 3/8-16
(item 6) screws to values specified on the rear of the deadfront.

The following instructions are for the installation of Siemens VL MG Frame breakers in a shallow/deep type
panelboards (P4, P5) as a Main. The parts provided in this kit are for connections to a 3 phase / 4 wire system.
Reference fig. 2 - To locate mounting position
of a MG Frame main breaker, measure 15”
from the top (or bottom for bottom feed applications)
of Z-rail and mark position on Z-rail. The marked position
acts as top (or bottom) of unit space for the strap assembly
as shown in fig. 6 for deep mount (P5) or fig. 7 for shallow
mount (P4).

Locate the 0.228” diameter hole on the Z-rail 1.875”
down from the top of the unit space established in step 3.
Insert a 1/4-20 X 1/2” screw (item 2) through the top 0.312”
diameter holes on the support barrier (item 18) into the
0.228” diameter hole on the Z-rail. Repeat steps for other
three holes. Insert four 1/4-20 X 1-1/4” thread forming screws
(item 1) through the 0.312” diameter holes in the short phase
strap and into the 0.228” holes in the section bus and
tighten. Repeat steps for medium and long phase straps.
Torque screws (item 1) to values specified on rear of the
deadfront. Tighten 1/4-20 X 1/2” screws as required.
Skip to step 9.
