Installation tips 
CH & BR plug-on neutral loadcenters and circuit breakers
Green bonding screw
•
The green bonding screw 
comes unthreaded. 
•
When required to bond the 
ground and neutral, thread the 
green bonding screw into case 
with 40 in-lbs of torque.
•
For applications when the 
ground and neutral should 
not be bonded, it is recom-
mended that the green screw 
is removed entirely and 
discarded.
Main breaker loadcenters 
and terminal insulators
•
Install terminal insulators to 
the service entry cable and 
line-side lugs of the main 
breaker device. 
•
All 225A and smaller main 
breaker loadcenters ship from 
the factory with a terminal 
insulator kit.
•
The terminal insulator kit will 
need to be purchased sepa-
rately for main breaker load-
centers greater than 225A.
Ordering a convertible 
loadcenter
•
To order a convertible loadcen-
ter, select a loadcenter catalog 
number with “N” or “E” as 
the main device designation. 
•
“N” indicates convertible load-
center with no main device 
installed at factory.
•
“E” indicates convertible 
loadcenter with main lugs 
installed. 
Drywall offsets tabs
•
For flush mount applications, 
utilize the drywall offsets at 
the top and bottom on both 
sides of the loadcenter.
•
Push the tabs out 90 degrees 
so that they are perpendicular 
to the side of the loadcenter. 
•
When installing the loadcenter 
between studs, the tabs help 
provide the proper drywall 
offset.
Keyhole hanging feature
•
Take advantage of the 
keyhole hanging feature for 
an easy and hassle free cover 
installation. 
• Place the top two cover 
screws in the loadcenter 
case holes. Then, align the 
top two cover keyholes with 
the top two cover screws to 
easily hang the cover. 
• The cover keyhole hanging 
feature also works for 
bottom feed applications.
Torque rating
•
The torque rating information 
can be found on the loadcen-
ter PUB. Refer to the chart 
on the PUB for the specific 
torque value required. After 
referencing the chart, use a 
torque wrench to torque to 
the specified value.
