Lumin-controlled loads must be associated with the correct phase or leg of power for proper energy and power readings to display in the Lumin Smart app. Watch the linked video to learn how to assign phases/legs to circuit breakers based on their row location within a load center.

A diagram of a circuit breaker that shows the assignment of phases/legs based on their row location. They are in an A/B alternating sequence. Also included are lines depicting Line A, Line B, Neutral (white), and the Lumin EGC. A/Line A is black, B/Line B is red.

Provided below is the same information mentioned in the linked video:

Once your LSP has been secured to the load center and wall, you can begin wiring your LSP to the load center. We recommend de-energizing all equipment before working on it. It is the responsibility of the installer to follow local electrical codes and safe practices during the installation process. At several steps in the process, you will need to identify which phase you are working with in the electrical panel. For purposes of this installation:

  1. The top row of standard width breakers is fed by Phase A.
  2. The second row, by Phase B.
  3. The third row, by Phase A.

This pattern of alternating rows continues down the entire breaker set. Note that if your load center contains tandem or skinny breakers, there may be two breakers per row.


Please note that this video and verbiage above are not meant to replace reading the installation manual. In particular, the manual contains information about properly identifying the phase of the feeders or service conductors in the load center Lumin controls.
