Engineered for commercial applications, the Eaton EDS3175 provides reliable overcurrent protection within the Series C F-Frame lineup. This 175A, three-pole molded case circuit breaker handles demanding electrical loads. It bolts into Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. The unit features standard load side lugs and accepts 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG wire. Rated for 42kAIC at 240VAC, this thermal-magnetic breaker includes fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions.
Which Eaton panelboards are compatible with the EDS3175 circuit breaker?
This F-Frame breaker mounts directly into Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers using a bolt-on connection.
What is the difference between Eaton EDS and ED frame circuit breakers?
While both are Series C F-Frame breakers with identical physical dimensions, they have different interrupting capacities. The EDS series is rated for 42 kAIC at 240V AC, whereas the standard ED series offers a higher 65 kAIC rating at 240V AC.
Can the EDS3175 be used in reverse feed applications?
Yes, this breaker does not have line and load side restrictions and is fully approved for reverse feed installations.
Is the EDS3175 suitable for direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, in addition to its standard AC ratings, this thermal magnetic breaker is rated for use in DC systems with an interrupting capacity of 10 kAIC at 125V DC.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the load side terminals?
The included load side lugs accept either copper (Cu) or aluminum (Al) conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG.
What protection functions does the fixed thermal magnetic trip unit provide?
The trip unit provides standard LI (Long Time and Instantaneous) protection. The thermal element protects against sustained overloads, while the magnetic element trips instantly during short circuits.
