Bus-Bar Connections
The H-, J- and L-frame circuit breakers may be equipped with captive nuts and screws for direct
connection to bars or to compression (crimp) lugs.
For H- and J-frame, these are readily field-installable, simply by removing the mechanical lug and
replacing with the appropriate terminal nut inset described in Table 128. They are also available
factory-installed, using the Product Selector or by using the catalog suffixes below.
For L-frame, the mechanical lug can be removed, leaving the threaded nut insert intact. This
configuration may be ordered with the suffixes described below. Connection hardware (terminal
screws) must be ordered as in table 128.
