INSTALLING 240 VOLT (2 POLE) CIRCUITS
EmerGen Switch products provide circuits for the connection of 240 volt
appliances that are connected to 2 pole branch circuit breakers in your load
center. These EmerGen Switch circuits for 240 volt operation have a handle tie
installed that ties two circuit selector switches together in the following
positions:
Models 6-7501G2 Circuits C & D
Model 10-7501G2 Circuits D & I, Circuits E & J
If you do not wish to use the designated circuits as 2 pole circuits, simply
remove the handle tie by removing the two screws.
For the purpose of this example, circuits E & J of model 10-7501G2 and a 2-pole
20A well pump circuit in the load center will be used.
a) Start by removing the two load wires from the selected circuit breaker.
b) The red EmerGen Switch “E” wire is trimmed, stripped and securely installed
into one side of the 2 pole circuit breaker.
c) The black EmerGen Switch “E” wire and one of the hot wires from the circuit
breaker are placed up the side of the load center. Insert both wires into a an
approved connector and fasten together. Push the wires back into the wiring
compartment of the load center.
d) The red EmerGen Switch “J” wire is trimmed, stripped and securely installed
into the remaining side of the 2 pole circuit breaker.
e) The black EmerGen Switch “J” wire and the remaining hot wire from the
circuit breaker are placed up the side of the load center. Insert both wires
into an approved wire connector and fasten together. Push the wires back
into the wiring compartment of the load center.
