Informazioni sulla sicurezza
AVVERTIMENTO: Electrical work can be hazardous. Improper installation or maintenance can result in serious injury or death. Always consult a qualified electrician for installation and service. Ensure power is disconnected at the main service panel before performing any work on electrical circuits.
- Always turn off the main power supply at the circuit breaker panel before installing, removing, or servicing circuit breakers.
- Utilizzare dispositivi di protezione individuale (DPI) adeguati, come guanti isolanti e occhiali di sicurezza.
- Verify that the circuit breaker rating (ampetà e volumetage) matches the requirements of the circuit and load it will protect.
- Non utilizzare interruttori automatici danneggiati o modificati.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent overheating.
Configurazione e installazione
The Eaton BR250 is a plug-in mount, double-pole circuit breaker designed for use in compatible Eaton BR series load centers. Professional installation by a licensed electrician is highly recommended.
- Disconnessione dell'alimentazione: Locate the main service panel and turn off the main breaker to completely de-energize the panel. Verify power is off using a voltagetester.
- Accesso al pannello: Rimuovere con cautela il coperchio del quadro elettrico.
- Posizionamento dell'interruttore: Identify an available space in the load center for a 2-inch double-pole breaker. The BR250 is designed to plug directly onto the bus bar.
- Cablaggio:
- Connect the two hot wires (typically black and red for 240V circuits) to the screw terminals on the circuit breaker. Ensure the wires are stripped to the correct length and inserted fully into the terminals.
- Tighten the terminal screws to the specified torque. Refer to the breaker's label for torque specifications.
- Connect the neutral wire to the neutral bus bar and the ground wire to the ground bus bar in the panel.
- Montaggio: Align the circuit breaker with the bus bar and firmly push it into place until it is securely seated.
- Rimontaggio del pannello: Replace the panel cover, ensuring all wires are clear and not pinched.
- Ripristino dell'energia: Riaccendere l'interruttore principale.

Istruzioni per l'uso
The Eaton BR250 circuit breaker features a simple toggle switch for operation.
- Per attivare: Push the toggle handle firmly to the "ON/I" position.
- Per spegnere: Push the toggle handle firmly to the "OFF/O" position.
- Interruttore scattato: If an overcurrent or short circuit occurs, the breaker will automatically trip to the center position (between ON and OFF). To reset a tripped breaker, first push the handle completely to the "OFF/O" position, then push it to the "ON/I" position. If the breaker immediately trips again, there is still a fault in the circuit that needs to be addressed by a qualified electrician.
Manutenzione
Gli interruttori automatici richiedono generalmente una manutenzione minima. Tuttavia, si consiglia un'ispezione periodica per garantirne il funzionamento sicuro e duraturo.
- Ispezione visiva: Annually, with the main power off, visually inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of damage, discoloration, or loose connections.
- Pulizia del pannello: Keep the electrical panel area clean and free from dust, debris, and obstructions.
- Controllo professionale: Consider having a qualified electrician inspect your electrical panel and circuit breakers every few years.
Risoluzione dei problemi
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| L'interruttore automatico scatta frequentemente. | Circuito sovraccarico, cortocircuito, guasto a terra o apparecchio difettoso. | Unplug appliances from the circuit. Reset the breaker. If it trips again, consult an electrician. |
| L'interruttore non si ripristina. | Persistent fault in the circuit or a damaged breaker. | Ensure the handle is pushed fully to the OFF position before attempting to reset. If it still won't reset, do not force it; contact an electrician. |
| No power to circuit after resetting breaker. | Main breaker tripped, loose wiring, or internal breaker failure. | Check the main breaker. If it's on, contact a qualified electrician for diagnosis. |
