- Remove Panel Cover: Aveese ma le faaeteete le ufiufi o le laulau eletise.
- Faailoa Slot: Locate an available slot on the bus bar for the 1-pole CHB120 circuit breaker.
- Fa'apipi'i Breaker: Hook the rear of the circuit breaker onto the retaining clip on the panel's bus bar. Press the front of the breaker firmly until it snaps into place.
- Feso'ota'i Uaea: Connect the circuit wire (hot wire) to the terminal screw on the circuit breaker. Ensure the wire is properly stripped and the screw is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.

Figure 1: Eaton Cutler-Hammer CHB120 1-Pole 20A Circuit Breaker. This image displays the Eaton Cutler-Hammer CHB120 circuit breaker, a single-pole device with a 20 Amp rating. It features a white toggle switch for ON/OFF/TRIPPED states and screw terminals for electrical connections. The model number 'CHB120' is visible on the label.

The CHB120 circuit breaker has three primary positions for its toggle switch:
- IA: The circuit is energized, and power is flowing. The toggle is typically pushed fully towards the "ON" marking.
- ESE: The circuit is de-energized, and power is interrupted. The toggle is typically pushed fully towards the "OFF" marking.
- TRIPPED: When an overcurrent or short circuit occurs, the breaker automatically trips to protect the circuit. The toggle will move to an intermediate position, usually between ON and OFF. To reset a tripped breaker, first push the toggle firmly to the full OFF position, then push it to the full ON position.
7. Tausiga
Circuit breakers generally require minimal maintenance. However, periodic visual inspection is recommended:
- Inspect for any signs of physical damage, discoloration, or burning.
- Ensure all connections are tight. (LAPATAIGA: Disconnect power before checking connections).
- Keep the electrical panel area clean and free from obstructions.
8. Faʻafitauli
If your CHB120 circuit breaker frequently trips, consider the following:
- Overloaded Circuit: The most common cause of tripping. Disconnect some appliances or devices from the circuit to reduce the load.
- La'au pu'upu'u: A direct connection between hot and neutral/ground wires can cause a trip. Inspect wiring and connected devices for damage.
- Fa'aletonu o le eleele: If current leaks to the ground, it can cause a trip (though this breaker is not a GFCI).
- Faulty Appliance/Device: A malfunctioning appliance connected to the circuit can cause repeated tripping. Unplug devices one by one to identify the culprit.
- Faulty Breaker: In rare cases, the circuit breaker itself may be defective. If all other causes are ruled out, consult a qualified electrician for inspection and potential replacement.
If you are unable to resolve the issue, contact a qualified electrician.
