FAQs
What circuit breaker models are compatible with these terminal extensions?
These terminal extensions are designed for use with Schneider Electric Compact NSX 100/160/250 and EasyPact CVS 100/160/250 circuit breakers.
How many terminal extensions are included in a set?
Each set includes four (4) straight terminal extensions.
Are these terminal extensions insulated?
Yes, they are supplied with flexible interphase barriers for enhanced insulation between terminals.
What is the purpose of the anti-rotation ribs?
The anti-rotation ribs provide a more secure and stable connection to the standard terminals of the circuit breaker, preventing unwanted movement.
Are these extensions suitable for outdoor use?
These are electrical components intended for installation within suitable enclosures. Check the specific circuit breaker's environmental ratings for application suitability.
Do these extensions affect the breaker's rating?
No, these extensions are designed to facilitate wiring and do not alter the current or voltage rating of the compatible circuit breaker.
Are there any specific installation tools required?
While specific tools are not listed, standard electrical tools for wire stripping and termination are typically used. Ensure proper torque is applied as per circuit breaker manufacturer guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Terminal extension does not fit securely.
Verify that the circuit breaker model is compatible (Compact NSX/EasyPact CVS 100-250) and that you are attaching it to the standard terminals. Ensure no obstruction is present.
Difficulty connecting wiring.
Ensure the wiring is properly stripped and sized for the terminal extension. The extensions are designed for standard conductor sizes compatible with the specified breakers.
Interphase barriers are loose.
The flexible barriers should fit snugly. If they appear loose, ensure they are correctly seated within their intended grooves on the terminal extensions.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
Ensure your circuit breaker is a Schneider Electric Compact NSX 100/160/250 or EasyPact CVS 100/160/250 model.
These extensions are designed for standard terminals; verify terminal size if using non-standard wiring.
Setup:
Turn off power to the circuit breaker and ensure it is de-energized.
Attach the terminal extensions to the standard terminals of the circuit breaker. Utilize the anti-rotation ribs to ensure a secure fit.
Connect your electrical conductors to the terminal extensions according to standard electrical practices and local codes.
Position the flexible interphase barriers for optimal insulation between phases.
Care:
These are passive components and generally require no specific maintenance beyond regular electrical system checks.
Keep terminal connections clean and free from debris during installation and inspection.
