3. Install the wire terminal end of the circuit breaker to the mounting rail and push inward until the
plug-on jaw fully engages the bus bar connector. Check the terminal end of the circuit breaker
for engagement to the mounting rail.
4. Remove the insulation from the conductor as required. Install the conductor into the load
terminal of the circuit breaker.
5. Torque each terminal to the value specified on the circuit breaker.
6. Torque each neutral and ground terminal to the value specified on the load center box label
attached to the inside of the box.
Removal
1. Turn OFF (O) the circuit breaker. Remove the conductors.
2. Lift the plug-on end of the circuit breaker until the circuit breaker jaw disconnects from the bus
bar. Continue lifting until the terminal end disengages from the mounting rail. See Figure 3 or
Figure 4, depending on the circuit breaker type.
Tandem Branch Circuit Breakers—Installation
Install QOT and HOMT tandem-type circuit breakers only in single-phase load centers marked for
use with tandem circuit breakers. Refer to the wiring diagram on the load center for the
installation location.
1. Determine the wiring or conduit requirements for the circuit breaker.
2. Turn OFF (O) the circuit breaker.
3. Hold the tandem circuit breaker at a 30°– 45° angle.
4. Install the wire terminal end of the circuit breaker to the mounting rail and push inward until the
plug-on jaw fully engages with the bus bar connector. Check the terminal end of the circuit
breaker for engagement to the mounting rail.
5. Remove the insulation from the conductor as required. Install the conductor into the load
terminal of the circuit breaker.
6. Torque each circuit breaker terminal to the value specified on the circuit breaker.
7. Torque each neutral and ground terminal to the value specified on the load center box label
attached to the inside of the box.
Removal
1. Turn OFF (O) the circuit breaker. Remove the conductors.
2. Lift the plug-on end of the circuit breaker until the circuit breaker jaw disconnects from the bus
bar. Continue lifting until the terminal end disengages from the mounting rail. See Figure 5 or
Figure 6, depending on the circuit breaker type.
