DANGER
Hazardous voltage.
Will cause death or
serious injury.
Keep out.
Qualified personnel only.
Disconnect and lock off all
power before working on
this equipment.
9. Torque all connections to the values specified on
the Hardware Tightening Torque label affixed to
the rear of the deadfront.
5. Position the breaker barrier assembly (Item 1) at the
MAIN END of the panel. (See Fig. 1) Ensure the
straps are properly snapped into the barrier and then
align them with the panel bus. Secure the straps to
the phase bus with 1/4”-20 SEMS screws (Item 5).
Do not tighten at this time.
8. On 1-phase 3-wire and 3-phase 4-wire systems the
neutral lug assembly (Item 4) is required. The
neutral lug assembly arrives in the kit ready to
assemble at any open corner. Locate the neutral
lug assembly at the corner closest to where the
cables will terminate into the breaker. Install by
positioning it below the neutral cross bus or the
neutral lug pad, inserting the exposed stud through
the appropriate hole and securing with the 1/4”-20
belleville washer nut (part of Item 4).
The following instructions are for the installation of a Siemens main/subfeed breaker kit for Type
BL
,
BQD
,
xGB
or
3VA4
breakers in Revised P1 Panelboards. The kit may be installed as a main or a subfeed in panels rated 250 amps or less.
For Revised P1 400A panels, it may be installed in subfeed applications ONLY (see Fig. 4). The parts provided in this kit
are for connection to a 1-phase 2 or 3-wire system in kit
MBKVA41A
or for connection to a 3-phase 3 or 4-wire system in
kit
MBKVA41B
. The breaker is
NOT
included with this kit and must be purchased separately. Be sure to choose the appro-
priate breaker for the system in use. For systems with no neutrals, disregard the neutral connection.
6. Secure the breaker barrier assembly to the base
rails with two #10-24 screws (Item 6). Do not
tighten at this time.
4. Prepare the kit based on the breaker type:
BL
/
BQD
breaker: Position the breaker support
bracket (Item 8) onto the breaker barrier assembly
(Item 1) by swinging the hooks on the bottom of the
bracket into the proper holes on the breaker barrier
assembly. (See Fig. 2 & 3) Complete assembly by
inserting a 1/4”-20 screw (Item 5). Torque to 40 lb-in.
xGB
/
3VA4
breaker: Proceed to Step 5.
10. Attach the main cables to the breaker and neutral
terminal and torque connections to values specified
on the device. If no values are listed on the device,
refer to the Hardware Tightening Torque label
affixed to the rear of the deadfront.
11. Remove the blank filler or escutcheon installed
on any deadfront opening in the area that will
cover this kit. Install the escutcheon (Item 2)
provided with this kit into the front of the
deadfront as shown. (This escutcheon has
a rib on the rear whose orientation should be
towards the unit space for proper fit.)
NOTE: If installing a 2-pole breaker, use the
blank filler (Item 9) by inserting it into the
open spot on the breaker escutcheon (Item 2).
7. Assemble the breaker (
purchased separately
) onto
the breaker barrier assembly and secure it using the
#10-32 x 3/8” SEMS screws (Item 7).
12. For main breaker applications, apply the
“MAIN” label (Item 3) to the breaker escutcheon
as shown.
13.
Before energizing the panel, ensure that all
connections have been properly torqued,
the deadfront is installed and all fillers are
in place.
14. Follow Steps 1 through 11, except that the kit
must be installed at the feed-thru or subfeed end
of the panel and any pre-existing assembly at
that location must be removed prior to installation
of this kit. In addition, do NOT install the “MAIN”
label (skip Step 12).
Finish with Step 13.
For installation as a main breaker:
For installation as a subfeed breaker:
(For panels with feed-thru or subfeed space ONLY)
1.
Lock off all power supplying this
equipment before working on it.
3. Remove the lugs (if installed).
2. Remove the deadfront.
(For 250A panels ONLY)
