Product FAQs
5 answers
Will this Eaton breaker replace an older Westinghouse HLD3600?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse electrical distribution business in 1994. The Eaton Series C HLD3600 is the direct, manufacturer-approved replacement for vintage Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer HLD3600 breakers, maintaining the exact physical footprint and performance ratings.
Can I use the HLD3600 to replace an existing LD3600 circuit breaker?
Yes. The HLD3600 and the standard LD3600 share the identical Series C L-frame chassis and dimensions. The HLD3600 is the high-interrupting capacity version and serves as a direct physical drop-in upgrade for the LD3600.
Can the HLD3600 be reverse fed in a panel?
Yes. Because the standard HLD3600 utilizes a factory-sealed, fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit, it is suitable for reverse feed applications. Eaton only restricts reverse feeding on L-frame breakers equipped with field-interchangeable trip units.
Can I swap the trip unit in the HLD3600 to change the continuous amperage rating?
No. The standard HLD3600 features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit that cannot be removed or swapped in the field. If you require interchangeable trip capabilities, you must use an L-frame chassis configured for separate trip units, such as the HLD3600F.
Is the HLD3600 rated for protecting HVAC equipment?
Yes. Like all Eaton Series C L-frame molded case circuit breakers, the HLD3600 is HACR rated, certifying it for safe use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
