Product FAQs
9 answersWhat panelboards accept the HFD1040?
It fits Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers designed for F-Frame breakers. Verify the specific enclosure accepts bolt-on FD frame breakers.
Is the HFD1040 suitable for direct current (DC) control circuits?
Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 125VDC with a 10kAIC interrupting capacity, making it appropriate for DC control panels and battery systems within its voltage limit.
What is the difference between FD and HFD breakers?
The HFD series features a high interrupting capacity (100kAIC at 240VAC) compared to the standard FD series (65kAIC at 240VAC). Both share the same physical F-Frame dimensions and mounting footprint.
Can I use the HFD1040 to replace an older Westinghouse F-Frame breaker?
Yes, Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse distribution equipment lines. The HFD1040 is a direct replacement for older Westinghouse HFD 1-pole breakers with the same specifications.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on this model?
No, the HFD1040 features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip elements. If adjustable trip settings are required, a different frame or electronic trip unit must be selected.
Does this breaker mount on a standard DIN rail?
No, the HFD1040 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for panelboard and switchboard chassis mounting, not DIN rail applications.
Can the HFD1040 be installed in a 3-phase system?
No, the HFD1040 is a 1-pole breaker designed for single-phase circuits. For 3-phase applications, a 3-pole F-Frame breaker like the HFD3040 is required.
Does the HFD1040 require a specific mounting hardware kit?
Yes, installing this bolt-on breaker into a Series C panelboard or switchboard requires the appropriate Eaton mounting hardware kit, which is typically sold separately based on the enclosure type.
What is the standard replacement lug for the HFD1040?
The standard replacement lug for 15-100A Eaton Series C F-Frame breakers is catalog number T100FB.
