When connecting 1P (single pole) and 2P (double pole) mini circuit breakers in the distribution box, the following are general wiring methods and some safety precautions:

Wiring method:

1P mini circuit breakers: Connect a power line (phase line) and a load line (equipment line that needs to be powered) to the input and output ends of the mini circuit breakers.

2P mini circuit breakers: Connect two power lines (phase lines) and two load lines (equipment lines that need power supply) to the input and output ends of the mini circuit breakers. Two power lines are connected to the two phases respectively.

Safety Precautions:

Power-off operation: Before wiring, make sure the power is disconnected and securely locked out to prevent electric shock and accidental operation.

Proper current capacity: Make sure that the selected mini circuit breakers has sufficient rated current capacity to meet the load requirements and avoid overloading.

Specifications and standards: Comply with local electrical safety regulations and standards, such as correct selection of wire specifications, correct connection and fixing of wires, etc.

Good contact: Make sure that the terminals are fastened well without looseness, to ensure the normal conduction of current, and to avoid safety problems such as heat generation and fire.

Current-carrying wires: Choose suitable current-carrying wires, avoid excessive wire lengths and too small wire cross-sectional areas, to reduce the risk of voltage drop and wire overheating.

Be sure to seek the guidance and assistance of professionals to ensure correct wiring and safe operation.

These precautions help ensure proper wiring and safe use of 1P and 2P mini circuit breakers in distribution boxes. It is important to follow applicable safety codes and best practices related to electrical work.
