Terminal Screw Torque Specifications
Tighten the terminal screw to the specified torque. Overtightening the terminal screws may damage the
terminal blocks and screw threads. Loose terminal screw connections can result in a short circuit or
malfunction.

Branch Circuit Protection
Integral solid-state short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit protection. The installer must provide
branch circuit protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code for the U.S. or the Canadian Electrical
Code for Canada and any additional codes.
As specified, UL Class T fuses (or any faster acting fuse with the appropriate rating) or Listed UL 489 Molded
Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) must be employed in accordance with Table 15 and Table 16.
