Product Usage Instructions

Installation

  1. Ensure power to the panel is turned off.
  2. Remove the panel cover.
  3. Identify the appropriate breaker based on your requirements (AFCI, Dual Function, or GFCI).
  4. Connect the ground and neutral conductors in the load centre.
  5. Attach the Plug-On Neutral Terminal to the panel neutral.
  6. Install the breaker into the panel by aligning the terminal with the corresponding slot and pressing firmly until it snaps into place.
  7. Connect the load conductor to the breaker.
  8. Replace the panel cover.
  9. Turn on the power and test the circuit.

Maintenance

  • To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to periodically check the connections and tighten any loose screws.
  • If any issues or abnormalities are observed, contact Siemens Technical Support for assistance.

FAQ

  • Q: Can I install a Plug-On Neutral Electronic Circuit Breaker without connecting it to the panel neutral?
  • A: No, the Plug-On Neutral Terminal must be connected to the panel neutral for proper operation.
  • Q: How much wire bending space is provided by the small footprint of the Plug-On Neutral Electronic Circuit Breakers?
  • A: The small footprint provides over 4 inches of wire bending space, allowing for easier installation and routing of wires.
  • Q: How can I contact Siemens Technical Support for assistance?
  • A: You can reach Siemens Technical Support by calling 1-800-333-7421 or emailing info.us@siemens.com.

Introductions

  • Siemens Plug-On Electronic Breakers are the perfect wiring solution made easier.
  • The design allows for the same reliable installation method.
  • The small footprint allows for over 4 inches of wire-bending space.
  • The neutral clip is the same, trusted connection as the line side clip.

Simple. Spacious. Secure

  • The CAFCI plug-on breakers now have a single load lug(s) only with the neutral lug removed.
  • These breakers can be installed in the same manner as the thermal magnetic breakers.
  • This allows the installer to land ground and neutral conductors in the load centre before installing the breaker and load conductor.
