Powercord-
(Fig A) Attach a cable clamp in the 1
″
round open-
ing for the supply wire (powercord, feed wire from transfer
switch, etc.) Attach and tighten the cable clamp nut as re-
quired. Remove outer sheathing from the supply wire, and trim
leads (recommended 1.5
″
for the ground wire, and 2.5
″
for the
neutral and hot wires; see wire stripping guide, Fig. B). Strip
1/2
″
insulation from the ends of the lead. Insert the wire through
the clamp. Connect the green (ground) conductor to the first
terminal on the ground bar located toward the front of the com-
partment. Connect the white (neutral) conductor to the bottom
terminal on the neutral bar located at the rear of the compart-
ment. Tighten screws on cable clamp to secure supply wires. Do
not install circuit breakers until other connections are made first.
Branch Circuits-
(Fig. C) Remove sheathing from nonmetal-
lic branch circuit wiring, and trim leads (recommended 1.5
″
for
the ground wire, and 2.5
″
for the neutral and hot wires; see
wire stripping guide, Fig. B.) Strip 1/2
″
insulation from the ends
of the leads. Insert wires into rectangular openings; the sheath-
ing must intrude into the compartment 1/4
″
or more. Wedge-
shaped cable clamps can be provided for the ILC to secure
the branch circuit nonmetallic cables inside the box as re-
quired by the National Electric Code. If wedge clamps are re-
quired, contact Customer Service at 1-800-866-IOTA (4682).
Insert ground wire into the ground bar and tighten terminal screw.
Attach the neutral conductor to the neutral bar. Tighten securely.
The NEC allows only one conductor per terminal on the neutral
bar. Repeat this process with all the branch circuits.
IV. CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Install circuit breakers (Fig. D.). Connect black (hot) wires
to the circuit breakers. Tighten securely. The NEC allows
only one conductor per terminal in the circuit breakers.
NOTE: The Load Center is listed to accept any standard
1
″
wide circuit breaker if the interchangeable models cur-
rently on the market, whether one pole or twin. It is not
brand or part number specific. ILC-30 models are listed
for a 30 amp breaker as a main. The main breaker must
be secured in place by means of a hold-down clip.
V. 12 VOLT COMPARTMENT
The fuse panel will accommodate ATO/ATC sized blade
fuses. Install fuses or breakers of the correct amperage.
Proper protection may be either to protect wires of a cer-
tain size on a general purpose branch circuit, or to protect
individual appliances, such as a water pump or a TV an-
tenna booster, on a dedicated circuit. All wires connected
to the DC fuse panel extend out of the back of the ILC unit
and are labeled with the fuse position number for ease of
wiring.
CANADIAN REQUIREMENTS: Canada requires that all
12 volt fuses used in RVs be listed to CSA standards.
There is also a requirement in Canada that low voltage
panels be enclosed, “...such that an 1/8
″
diameter rod shall
not penetrate.” For Load Center installation in Canadian
RVs, snap the optional round bushings into the 12 volt
