Testing & Installation

At Schneider Electric, we perform a series of tests
that ensure the physical and electrical integrity of
every breaker before it is delivered to you. In order
to offer the simplest of solutions, our circuit breakers are shipped to your site fully assembled. All
that is left to do is to adjust the legs to the desired
installation height.
