Troubleshooting

Terminal does not snap into place

Ensure you are using a compatible Compact INS or INSE breaker model and that no obstructions are present on the breaker or terminal connection points.

Poor connection with cable

Verify the cable conductor is stripped correctly and inserted fully into the connection point. Ensure the correct torque is applied to the terminal screw for a secure connection. Check if the cable size exceeds the terminal's capacity.

Overheating at connection point

Check for loose connections, ensure the correct cable gauge is used, and verify the load current does not exceed the breaker or terminal's rated capacity.
