What happens here

Carefully align the Siemens bolt-on breaker with the appropriate slots on the bus bars within the commercial panel. Gently push the breaker into place. The design of a bolt-on breaker means it should sit securely on the bus bars once properly seated, allowing for the subsequent tightening of the screws.

Goal: Properly position the circuit breaker in the electrical panel.

this is a seaman P1 panel okay this is the largest panel at Seaman makes uh this is a seaman bolt-on breaker okay so if you notice it doesn't have captive screws like Square D does so the screws are already into the bus which we have removed make sure power is off all right and now I'm going to set the breaker and it's going to stay there take my 5/16 in nut driver with a magnetic holder I always use one hand because I don't want to create a loop even though the panel is off just one hand
