2. Preparação do painel: Ensure the load center is properly wired according to local electrical codes, with hot and neutral wires terminated at the designated custom lugs.
3. Posicionamento do disjuntor: Identify the appropriate slot in the load center for the 2-pole 30A GFCI breaker.
4. Plug-On Installation: Align the circuit breaker with the bus bar and firmly press it into place until it is securely seated. The plug-on design ensures a reliable connection.
5. Conexão do fio: Connect the load wires to the appropriate terminals on the circuit breaker. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
6. Ground and Neutral Connections: Verify that the ground and neutral wires are correctly connected within the panel as per the load center's instructions.
7. Restaurar energia: Once installation is complete and all connections are verified, close the panel cover and restore power to the main service panel.

Instruções de operação

The Leviton LB230-GF circuit breaker is designed for intuitive operation and status indication.

• Operação LIGADO/DESLIGADO: To turn the circuit ON, push the handle firmly to the 'ON' position. To turn it OFF, push the handle firmly to the 'OFF' position.
• Indicação da viagem: In the event of an overload, short-circuit, or ground fault, the circuit breaker will trip, moving the handle to a central 'TRIPPED' position.
• Indicadores LED: The breaker features color indicators in the handle and LEDs that communicate the trip condition and type of fault. These LEDs remain illuminated even when in a tripped state, allowing for easy identification of the fault type.
• Hydraulic Magnetic Technology: This precision trip technology ensures consistent operation across a wide temperature range, from -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F), without requiring re-rating.

Manutenção

The Leviton LB230-GF circuit breaker requires minimal maintenance. Regular visual inspections are recommended.

• Inspeção visual: Inspecione periodicamente o disjuntor para verificar se há sinais de danos físicos, descoloração ou conexões soltas.
• Botão de teste: GFCI circuit breakers typically include a test button. Refer to the specific instructions on the breaker itself or the load center for recommended testing frequency (usually monthly). Pressing the test button should trip the breaker. If it does not, the breaker may be faulty and should be replaced by a qualified electrician.
• Limpeza: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the breaker with a dry, clean cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.

Solução de problemas

If the circuit breaker trips, follow these steps:

1. Identify Fault: Observe the LED indicators on the breaker to determine the type of fault (e.g., ground fault, arc fault, overload).
2. Desconectar carga: Turn off or unplug all appliances and devices connected to the affected circuit.
3. Disjuntor de reinicialização: Push the breaker handle completely to the 'OFF' position, then firmly to the 'ON' position.
4. Circuito de teste: If the breaker holds, gradually reconnect devices to identify the faulty appliance or overloaded condition.
5. Tropeços persistentes: If the breaker trips immediately after resetting, or if the LEDs indicate a persistent fault, there may be a wiring issue or a severe fault in the circuit. In such cases, do not attempt further resets. Contact a qualified electrician for diagnosis and repair.
6. Redefinir bloqueio: If the breaker will not reset, it may be due to the patented reset lockout technology, indicating that ground or arc fault protection is compromised. This is a safety feature. Do not attempt to bypass it. Contact a qualified electrician.
