Remove the backing from the enclosed "SERVICE
DISCONNECT" label and attach it to the dead
front/shield besides the main circuit breaker opening.
WARNING:
Service barriers (A) must be correctly
installed on the line side of a main device in GE load
centers, and MSLC to ensure isolation from live parts.
WARNING:
Installing an incorrect size wire than the
specified sizes for each circuit breaker frame will negate
the barrier ability to protect personnel from exposed live
components.

Table 1: Shows the allowable wire range for the barrier.
The wires must be stripped to the correct length to maintain
isolation. Strip the wire to a maximum of 0.595 inches.
After stripping the wires to the required length, the wires can
be installed as shown in Figure 4. The service barrier must be
correctly installed to maintain electrical isolation from
accidental contact. Torque the wires according the torque
specification on the breaker.

The strip wire length are measured to the scale provided on
side of main circuit breaker, as shown on Figure 5.
Some THQL (1p and 2p up to 60 Amps) are finger safe and do
not require a Service barrier. See Figure 6.
