Orient the breaker such that the “ON”-side (with Bus
Extensions, part of Item 15) fits into the Top Barrier
(Item 4) and the “OFF”-side nestles between the
two fins on the Breaker Mounting Bracket (Item 5).
INSTALLING THE BREAKER:
12b. Fasten the breaker to the Breaker Mounting Bracket
(Item 5) with two #8-32 screws (part of Item 15).
(NOTE: Some breakers are packaged with a pair
of Breaker-Mounting Screws. If this occurs, dispose
of the pair that shipped with the breaker and use the
pair from this kit.)
12c. Align the Bus Extension (part of Item 15) holes with
the holes in the Straps (Items 1, 2 and 3) and fasten
with one 5/16”-18 screw (part of Item 15) per phase.

repeat the three steps above.

12e. Keeping components aligned, tighten all screws to
the torque values specified on the back of the
deadfront (or the table on Page 2).
INSTALLING THE NEUTRALS:
13a. If this kit is installed in a panelboard with a neutral,
install the Branch Neutral Lug Assembly (Item 13).
Locate on the Branch Neutral at either the top or
bottom of the Z-rails. Lug can be mounted on either
side of the Branch Neutral, depending on cable feed
location.
13b. If this kit is installed in a switchboard with a neutral,
install the Branch Neutral Lug Assembly (Item 14).
It can be mounted as shown or on any available
hole of the branch neutral, depending on cable feed
location.

13c. Keeping components aligned, tighten all screws to
the torque values specified on the back of the
deadfront (or the table on Page 2).
DEADFRONT PREPARATION:
14a. If a provision is in place, install the Provision Filler
Assembly (Item 16) in the appropriate Cover Plate
(Item 6) opening. Place a screw into each of the two
corner square holes and locate the filler plate onto
the front of the Cover Plate, with the label facing out.
Then, fasten two lock nuts onto the screws from the
rear of the Cover Plate.

the deadfront, barriers and fillers are in place and
secure, and that all the covers are properly installed.

Nut keepers must be purchased with the breaker. Order options are:
for 3VA52 breakers: 3VA9233-0QA00 (kit of 3)
for 3VA61/62 breakers: 3VA9243-0QA00 (kit of 3)
or factory-installed on the breaker by using a “2” as the 12th
character in the breaker order: ( Ex.: 3VA61405HL320AA0 )
For factory-installed provisions, verify that the strap kit contains
bus extensions. (See Figure 12 on page 3 for reference.)
If bus extensions are not included, kit S3VA52PR is required,
one kit per breaker. Consult Siemens for more details.
