2. Informações de segurança
AVISO: Installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of electrical equipment should only be performed by qualified and licensed electricians. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury, death, or property damage.
- Always disconnect power before working on electrical circuits or equipment.
- Utilize equipamento de proteção individual (EPI) adequado, incluindo luvas isolantes e proteção ocular.
- Verify all connections are secure and properly torqued according to specifications.
- Ensure the circuit breaker's ratings match the system requirements.
3. Configuração e instalação
The GE SELA36AT0150 is a bolt-on mount circuit breaker. Proper installation is crucial for safe and reliable operation.
3.1 Verificações de pré-instalação
- Confirm the circuit breaker's voltage, current, and interrupting ratings are compatible with the electrical system.
- Inspect the circuit breaker for any physical damage. Do not install damaged units.
- Certifique-se de que a superfície de montagem esteja limpa, seca e estruturalmente sólida.
3.2 Instruções de Montagem
- De-energize the electrical panel or system where the breaker will be installed. Verify zero voltage com um multímetro.
- Position the circuit breaker in the designated slot or mounting location.
- Secure the breaker using appropriate bolts and hardware for bolt-on mounting. Ensure it is firmly seated.
- Connect the load and line conductors to the appropriate terminals. The breaker includes a set of bottom lugs.
- Refer to the product label for specific wire ranges and torque specifications:
- Wire Range: #12 - 3/0 CU, #12 - 3/0 AL
- Torque: #12-#10: 35 lb-in, #8-#3: 100 lb-in, #2-3/0: 150 lb-in
- Double-check all connections for tightness and proper insulation.

4. Instruções de operação
The GE SELA36AT0150 circuit breaker is designed for simple operation, primarily acting as an ON/OFF switch and an automatic protective device.
4.1 Ligar/Desligar
- Para ligar o circuito ON, firmly push the handle to the "ON" position.
- Para ligar o circuito DESLIGADO, firmly push the handle to the "OFF" position.
4.2 Disparo e reinicialização
If an overcurrent or short circuit condition occurs, the breaker will automatically "trip" to the center position (between ON and OFF) to protect the circuit. To reset a tripped breaker:
- First, move the handle completely to the "OFF" position. This resets the internal mechanism.
- Investigate and resolve the cause of the trip (e.g., overloaded circuit, short circuit).
- Once the issue is resolved, firmly push the handle to the "ON" position to restore power.
- If the breaker immediately trips again, do not attempt to reset it repeatedly. Consult a qualified electrician.
5. Manutenção
Os disjuntores geralmente requerem manutenção mínima. No entanto, recomenda-se a inspeção periódica para garantir a operação segura contínua.
- Inspeção visual: Inspecione anualmente o disjuntor para verificar sinais de danos físicos, descoloração ou conexões soltas.
- Limpeza: Keep the area around the breaker clean and free of dust and debris. Use a dry, non-conductive cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquids.
- Verificações de conexão: Periodically (e.g., every 3-5 years, or as per local codes) have a qualified electrician check the tightness of terminal connections.
- Teste: For critical applications, periodic testing of the breaker's trip mechanism by a qualified professional may be required.
Observação: Não tente abrir ou reparar o disjuntor. Não há peças que possam ser reparadas pelo usuário em seu interior.
6. Solução De Problemas
Esta seção aborda problemas comuns que você pode encontrar com seu disjuntor.
| Problema | Possível causa | Solução |
|---|---|---|
| O disjuntor desarma com frequência. | Circuito sobrecarregado, curto-circuito, falha de aterramento ou aparelho defeituoso. | Reduza a carga no circuito. Desligue os aparelhos da tomada. Inspecione a fiação em busca de danos. Se o problema persistir, consulte um eletricista qualificado. |
| O disjuntor não reinicia. | Persistent fault (short circuit/overload) or internal breaker damage. | Ensure the handle is pushed fully to "OFF" before attempting to reset. If it still won't reset, do not force it. Call a qualified electrician. |
| Não há energia no circuito, mas o disjuntor está LIGADO. | Loose connection, wiring issue, or internal breaker failure. | This indicates a serious issue. Immediately turn off the breaker and consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to diagnose or fix yourself. |
For any issues not covered here, or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, always contact a qualified and licensed electrician.
