Special Construction Circuit Breakers

In some applications, the circuit breaker does not require lugs on one or both ends. To meet this requirement, the circuit breaker should be ordered with the desired lug configuration as indicated below. If necessary, lugs may be removed in the field. However, if lugs are removed in the field, circuit breaker Types FH, FC, Q4 LA, LH, MA, MH, MX, ME, NA, NC, NX, and NE must be secured with pan-mounting screws, or have “P” screws (cover screws and nuts) installed securing the base to the cover.

Termination Insert Kits

The standard lugs supplied with KA, KH, KC, and KI (series 2 and higher), EDB, EGB, EJB, and FJA circuit breakers and molded case switches are secured by means of a screw fastened through the circuit breaker terminal into the lug body. If the standard lug is removed and a bolted connection to the circuit breaker terminal pad is desired, a threaded insert kit is required. The insert is installed below the terminal pad. For ordering information see chart below.

LC, LI, LE, LX and LXI Circuit Breaker Termination Clip Kit

The standard lugs supplied with LC, LI, LE, LX and LXI circuit breakers are secured by means of a screw fastened through the circuit breaker terminal into the lug body. If the standard lug is removed and a bolted connection to the circuit breaker terminal is desired, the AL600IN threaded terminal clip kit is required to make this connection. The AL600IN clip snaps onto the bottom of the terminal. For ordering information, see chart below.

Table 3.56:

Electric Joint Compound

I-Line® circuit breakers, I-Line busway plug-on units, I-Line panelboards and switchboards, QMB plug-on switches and motor control center plug-on units are supplied with factory applied joint compound on the plug-on connectors. The compound should not be removed because it contributes to the overall performance of the connection.

Whenever one of these units is removed and reinstalled, the joint compound should be reapplied. Catalog number PJC 7201 is a two-ounce container of compound specially formulated for the I-Line, QMB and motor control center connections.

No other type of commercially available joint compound should be used.
