Issue:
What are the required forces to reset and turn the PowerPacT P frame breaker ON and OFF?

Product Line:
Molded Case Circuit Breaker

Resolution:
For a manually operated, PowerPacT P frame circuit breaker (has a toggle handle), the following are the forces required to operate the handle:

• ON = 56 pounds (force required to close the breaker by pushing the handle from OFF to ON)
• OFF = 34 pounds (force required to open the breaker by pushing the handle from ON to OFF)
• RESET = 70 pounds (force required to reset the breaker after a trip by pushing the handle from TRIPPED to OFF)

NOTE: This does not apply to a breaker with a motor operator.
