Product FAQs

8 answers
Is the Eaton CNDC312T36W circuit breaker 100% rated for continuous operation?

Yes, the C prefix in the CNDC catalog number indicates that this breaker is 100% rated. It is suitable for continuous operation at its full 1200A capacity when installed in an appropriately sized enclosure.

What does the T36 designation mean in the CNDC312T36W catalog number?

The T36 suffix indicates that the breaker is equipped with a Digitrip RMS 310 electronic trip unit featuring Long-Time, Short-Time, Instantaneous, and Ground Fault (LSIG) protection.

Does the CNDC312T36W require a rating plug to operate?

Yes, this circuit breaker requires a compatible rating plug to function. The rating plug establishes the maximum continuous current rating and must be installed to make the breaker operational.

Is the trip unit on the CNDC312T36W field replaceable?

No, Eaton Series C N-Frame circuit breakers have the electronic trip unit built in as an integral part of the breaker. While the rating plug is interchangeable, the trip unit itself is factory installed and non-interchangeable.

This N-Frame breaker is engineered for use within Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.

Can this breaker be used to replace Cutler-Hammer branded CNDC312T36W units?

Yes, Eaton and Cutler-Hammer are the same manufacturer. An Eaton CNDC312T36W is a direct, exact replacement for an older Cutler-Hammer breaker with the identical catalog number.

Is the CNDC312T36W HACR rated?

Yes, all Eaton Series C N-Frame circuit breakers carry an HACR rating, making them suitable for group motor applications in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems.

Are the trip settings on the CNDC312T36W adjustable?

Yes, the Digitrip electronic trip unit allows for adjustable settings across its Long-Time, Short-Time, Instantaneous, and Ground Fault (LSIG) parameters to properly coordinate with your specific system requirements.
