Navigating Low Voltage Circuit Breaker Testing for Optimal …

An outage must be taken. As connection to the primary current path is necessary, the breaker must be removed, or both line and load sides of the breaker must be de-energized. Test power must be provided for the primary injection test set. For larger current test sets, this is typically either 240VAC or 3-phase 277/480VAC.
