How to Install a Ground Fault Circuit Breaker 2
Begin Installing a Ground Fault Circuit Breaker
You are now ready to install the GFI circuit breaker. First, you will want to attach the white pigtail coming from the breaker to the neutral bus bar. You can identify that by the white neutral wires which are connected to the panel. Tighten the screw. Next you will want to attach the load neutral wire coming from your circuit to the load neutral side as indicated on the side of the circuit breaker. Insert the neutral wire into the appropriate slot, tighten it and insert the hot wire into the other slot and tighten as you did with the neutral wire. This notch will insert in this part of the panel and then the circuit breaker will just snap into place, into the bus bar.
Finish Installing a Ground Fault Circuit Breaker
First, you want to turn the circuit breaker off, engage the notched portion of the circuit breaker into the slot and then just press the circuit breaker onto the bus bar. When you have fully inserted it, it should appear like this.You can now restore power to all of the circuit breakers that you turned off. Then, turn on the power to your installed GFI, press the test button and it should trip the breaker, which it does, so you have installed the circuit breaker properly. Put the cover back on and you have completed your project.
