APPENDIX A: CIRCUIT BREAKER COMPATIBILITY

SPAN has been evaluated per the UL Standard for Panelboards for use with the branch breaker types below in Table A.1.

Informational notes:

• National Electric Code (NFPA 70) does not prohibit the use of different branch circuit breakers in panelboards provided it does not violate the listing of any equipment. NEC article 110.3(B) states “Equipment that is listed, labeled, or both shall be installed  and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling.”
• The standard for Molded-Case Circuit Breakers (UL 489) does not require listing circuit breakers for use in specific panel, nor does this standard cover panelboards. Such testing is covered by the UL standard for Panelboards (UL 67), which does require the panelboard to be listed with specific breaker types. SPAN is certified to the UL 67 standard via a Nationally Recognized Testing Lab (NRTL) for use with the branch circuit breakers below. This is reflected in this Installation information as well as marked on the product itself.

For additional information visit www.support.span.io

Table A.1

• SPAN Panels manufactured with Serial Number (SN) xx-2223-xxxxx (middle 4 digits) and higher are not compatible with plug-on neutral style branch circuit breakers, and pigtail neutral breaker styles must be installed. SPAN Panels with Serial Number (SN)  xx-2222-xxxxx (middle 4 digits) and lower are compatible with SquareD Homeline plug-on neutral, as indicated by catalog numbers:

  • HOM followed by 110 to 220; followed by P; followed by CAFI.
  • HOM followed by 110 to 250; followed by P; followed by GFI.
  • HOM followed by 110 to 120; followed by P; followed by DF.

APPENDIX B: SURGE PROTECTIVE DEVICE COMPATABILITY

Per 2020 NEC 230.67 Surge Protection

• A surge protective device (SPD) shall be installed in all new and replacement services supplying dwelling units.
• Shall be Type 1 or Type 2 SPD.
• Shall be attached to the service equipment or immediately adjacent. Exception: The SPD shall not be required to be in the service equipment if located at each next level distribution equipment downstream toward the load.
