3. Installation

VIGTIG: Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all applicable electrical codes.

1. Forbered læssecentret:
   • Ensure all power to the load center is OFF at the main disconnect. Verify with a voltage tester.
   • Remove the load center cover.
2. Connect the Circuit Wire:
   • Strip approximately 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of insulation from the circuit wire (14 to 8 AWG aluminum/copper, or two 14 to 10 AWG copper wires).
   • Insert the stripped end of the circuit wire into the screw clamp terminal on the breaker.
   • Tighten the terminal screw firmly to the specified torque (refer to load center instructions for exact torque specifications). Ensure the wire is securely fastened and no bare strands are exposed outside the terminal.

3. Installer afbryderen:
   • Position the breaker so that the clip on the back engages with the mounting rail in the load center.
   • Align the plug-on connector with the bus bar stab.
   • Firmly press the breaker onto the bus bar until it is fully seated and clicks into place.

4. Gendan strøm:
   • Replace the load center cover.
   • Turn the main disconnect power back ON.
   • Switch the newly installed circuit breaker to the "ON" position.

4. Betjening

The HOM125 circuit breaker operates as a protective device for your electrical circuit. It has two primary states: ON and OFF, and a tripped state.

• ON position: When the toggle handle is in the "ON" position, power is supplied to the connected circuit.
• OFF position: When the toggle handle is manually moved to the "OFF" position, power to the connected circuit is interrupted.
• UDLØST position: If an overload or short circuit occurs, the breaker will automatically move to a central, "TRIPPED" position (often indicated by the handle being between ON and OFF, or slightly past OFF). This indicates that the breaker has interrupted the circuit to prevent damage.

Resetting a Tripped Breaker

If the circuit breaker trips, follow these steps:

1. Identificér årsagen: Unplug or turn off any appliances or devices on the affected circuit that may have caused the overload or short circuit.
2. Reset the Breaker:
   • First, firmly push the breaker handle completely to the "OFF" position. You may feel a click.
   • Tryk derefter håndtaget fast til "ON"-positionen.
3. Overvåge: If the breaker trips again immediately, there may be a persistent issue (e.g., a short circuit or a faulty appliance). Do not repeatedly reset the breaker without addressing the underlying problem. Consult a qualified electrician.

5. Vedligeholdelse

The Square D HOM125 circuit breaker is designed for reliable, long-term operation with minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspection is recommended.

• Visuel inspektion: Annually, or as needed, inspect the breaker for any signs of physical damage, discoloration, or loose connections. Ensure the toggle handle moves freely.
• Rensning: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the breaker with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
• Tilslutningskontrol: Periodically, with power off, verify that the wire terminal screws are tight. Loose connections can cause overheating.

If any issues are observed, consult a qualified electrician for assessment and potential replacement.
