TP-5982 4/06 31Section 6 Electrical System
6.2.2 Circuit Breaker Installation
1. Turn the generator set off and disconnect the
generator set engine starting battery, negative (−)
lead first.
2. Remove the controller cover screws and remove
the access cover.
3. Remove screws and nuts to remove the circuit
breaker cover plate. Save the mounting hardware.
4. Install the circuit breaker from the inside of the
cutout panel and mount it using existing screws.
Position the circuit breaker with ON in the normal
upright position or to the left side. Cover the cutout
opening, if applicable, with the circuit breaker
coverplate. Use existing screws and nuts.
5. See Section 8 for voltage reconnection.
Note: Voltage reconnection. Some four-lead
generator sets are not voltage adjustable.
To determine adjustment possibilities,
check the model specification sheet.
6. Install insulation boots over stator lead terminals if
the kit includes insulation boots.
Note: See Section 8 for wiring instructions.
Note: 10/13/15EG and 13/15EGZ models are
available with a two-pole circuit breaker with
a dual-voltage system (120/240 volt, 60 Hz,
3-wire configuration).
The 10EG model is also available with a
single-pole circuit breaker (120 volt, 60 Hz,
2-wire configuration).
7. Make the recommended connections for the
following reconnection systems using circuit
breakers.
Two-pole circuit breaker with a single-voltage
system (example: 120 volt, 3-wire). Attach stator
leads marked 2 and 4 to the side of the circuit
breaker marked LINE. Install the jumper lead
across the LINE side of circuit breaker terminals
(see Section 8). Attach stator leads 1 and 3 to L0.
Single-pole circuit breaker with a
single-voltage system (example: 120 volt,
2-wire). Attach stator leads marked 2 and 4 to the
side of the circuit breaker marked LINE (see
Section 8). Attach stator leads 1 and 3 to L0.
Two-pole circuit breaker with a dual-voltage
system (example: 120/240 volt, 3-wire). Attach
stator leads marked 1 and 4 to the side of the circuit
breaker marked LINE. Do not use a jumper lead
(see Section 8). Attach stator leads 2 and 3 to L0.
Models without ADC 2100:
Single-pole circuit breaker with a 240-volt,
2-wire, single-voltage system. Attach the stator
lead marked 2 to the side of the circuit breaker
marked LINE (see Section 8). Bolt together leads 1
and 4 and tape the leads to insulate them from
ground. Attach the stator lead marked 3 to L0.
Models with ADC 2100:
Single-pole circuit breaker with a 240-volt,
2-wire, single-voltage system. Attach the stator
lead marked 1 to the side of the circuit breaker
marked LINE (see Section 8). Bolt together leads
2 and 3 and tape to insulate from ground. Attach
the stator lead marked 4 to L0.
8. Connect the stator lead(s) used for neutral
connection to the L0 stud. See the illustrations in
Section 8.
9. Connect the side of the circuit breaker marked
LOAD to the ship-to-shore switch or craft wiring.
Attach insulation boots to black leads if the kit
includes insulation boots. With a single-pole circuit
breaker, use one black lead (L1). With a two-pole
circuit breaker use two black leads, L1 and L2.
Connect the neutral white lead to the L0 stud.
Connect the equipment ground green lead to GRD.
stud.
Note: Wire material. Use stranded copper for all
wiring. Use wire gauges and insulation,
conductor temperature ratings, sheath
stripping, conductor support and protection,
conductor terminals and splices, and
overcurrent protection (circuit breakers,
fuses) that conform to standards and codes.
Note: Conform to USCG Regulations CFR33, Part
183 (Pleasurecraft) and CFR46
(Commercial Craft) for Marine applications.
Note: Wire protection. Use rubber grommets
and cable ties as necessary to protect and
secure wiring from sharp objects, the
exhaust system, and any moving parts.
10. Replace the controller cover or circuit breaker box
access panel.
11. Reconnect the generator set engine starting
battery, negative (−) lead last.
12. Make voltage or frequency adjustments according
to Section 8.
