• Ensure the circuit breaker's amperage rating matches the circuit's requirements.
• Do not use damaged or modified circuit breakers.
• Ilbes tagħmir protettiv personali (PPE) xieraq, inklużi ingwanti iżolati u nuċċalijiet tas-sigurtà.
• Aċċerta ruħek li l-konnessjonijiet tal-ert u tal-wajers huma xierqa.

3. Installazzjoni

Installation of circuit breakers should only be performed by a qualified electrician. The following steps are for informational purposes and highlight the general process.

1. Ipprepara ċ-Ċentru tat-Tagħbija: Ensure the main power to the electrical panel is completely shut off. Open the panel cover.
2. Identifika s-Slott: Locate an available slot on the bus bar within the load center.
3. Qabbad il-Wajer: Connect the circuit wire (typically black or red) to the terminal screw on the circuit breaker. Ensure the wire is stripped to the correct length and securely tightened. Refer to the breaker's label for wire gauge compatibility and torque specifications.
4. Attach Breaker: Hook the rear clip of the breaker onto the retaining clip in the load center.
5. Engage Bus Bar: Firmly press the front of the breaker down until it snaps securely onto the bus bar. Ensure it is fully seated.
6. Agħlaq il-Panel: Ladarba l-konnessjonijiet kollha jkunu siguri u vverifikati, erġa' poġġi l-għatu tal-pannell.
7. Irrestawra l-Enerġija: Ixgħel il-qawwa prinċipali lura.

4. Operazzjoni

The BR120 circuit breaker operates with a simple toggle switch:

• ON (I): Pushing the toggle switch to the 'ON' or 'I' position closes the circuit, allowing electricity to flow.
• MITFI (O): Pushing the toggle switch to the 'OFF' or 'O' position opens the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity.
• TRIPPED: If an overload or short circuit occurs, the breaker will automatically move to a tripped position, typically midway between 'ON' and 'OFF', or fully 'OFF' depending on the specific breaker design. This indicates that the circuit has been interrupted for safety.

Biex tirrisettja breaker li jkun qabad:

1. First, identify and correct the cause of the trip (e.g., unplug overloaded appliances).
2. Move the breaker toggle firmly to the full 'OFF' position.
3. Then, move the toggle firmly to the full 'ON' position.

5. Manutenzjoni

Circuit breakers generally require minimal maintenance. However, periodic visual inspection is recommended:

• Spezzjoni Viżwali: Annually, with the main power off, inspect the circuit breakers for any signs of physical damage, discoloration, or loose connections.
• Indafa: Ensure the area around the breakers inside the panel is free from dust and debris.
• Issikkar: Periodically check that terminal screws are tight. Do not overtighten.

If any issues are observed, consult a qualified electrician.
