Description
Belonging to the Power Defense Frame 2 family, this 150A molded case circuit breaker provides robust protection for commercial and industrial facilities. The microprocessor-based design ensures accurate sensing over traditional thermal-magnetic alternatives. This unit installs into Eaton panelboards and replaces the legacy HFD3150 (requires a retrofit kit for Series C panels). Equipped with a PXR10 LSI electronic trip unit, it delivers 65 kAIC interrupting capacity at 480VAC.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersWhat enclosures or panelboards are compatible with the PDG23M0150B2NL?
This breaker is designed for use with Eaton Power Defense panelboards and enclosures that accept Frame 2 (PDG2) bolt-on circuit breakers.
What does the LSI trip function on this Eaton breaker indicate?
LSI stands for Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous trip functions. This electronic trip unit allows electricians to adjust these parameters to coordinate with other protective devices in the electrical system and optimize fault protection.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the PDG23M0150B2NL?
The standard lugs on this breaker accept wire gauges ranging from 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation as outlined by Eaton.
Can this breaker be used in 100kAIC rated systems?
Yes, but only at 240VAC. The interrupting capacity is 100kA at 240VAC, 65kA at 480VAC, and 35kA at 600VAC. You must verify the system voltage before applying it to a high fault current application.
Is this a bolt-on or plug-in circuit breaker?
The PDG23M0150B2NL features a bolt-on connection type for secure panel mounting. It is not compatible with plug-on load centers.
Does this breaker belong to the Eaton Series G or Series C family?
No, the PDG23M0150B2NL is part of the Eaton Power Defense series, specifically the Frame 2 (PDG2) lineup. It features newer electronic trip technology compared to legacy Series C or Series G breakers.
Does this breaker provide ground fault protection?
No, the LSI trip unit on this specific model provides Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous protection. It does not include the Ground Fault (G) function. If equipment ground fault protection is required, an LSIG trip unit must be specified.
