Built for harsh commercial environments, the Eaton FD3200S molded case circuit breaker provides consistent 3-pole, 200A overcurrent protection. This F-frame breaker utilizes a bolt-on configuration, integrating into Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It is often replaced by the newer PDG23G0200TFFJ model. Featuring specialized stainless steel terminals for enhanced durability, this 35kAIC rated breaker offers fixed thermal-magnetic trip functions.
What does the "S" suffix in the FD3200S catalog number indicate?
The "S" suffix signifies that the breaker is equipped with stainless steel load-side lug terminals. This provides enhanced corrosion resistance and durability for harsh commercial or industrial environments, while the line side retains a standard bolt-on connection.
What is the modern Eaton replacement for the legacy FD3200S breaker?
The FD3200S is frequently replaced by the newer Eaton Power Defense series, specifically catalog number PDG23G0200TFFJ. The Power Defense model provides equivalent 200A, 3-pole protection and a 35kAIC rating at 480VAC.
Which electrical distribution equipment is compatible with this F-frame breaker?
The FD3200S is engineered to bolt directly into the busbars of Eaton and legacy Cutler-Hammer Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Does the FD3200S require lugs on the line side?
No, the FD3200S is a bolt-on breaker. The line side is designed to bolt directly to the equipment bus, while the load side utilizes the factory-installed stainless steel lugs for wire termination.
Are load lugs included, and what wire sizes do they accept?
Yes, the breaker comes with factory-installed stainless steel load lugs designed for 4 AWG through 4/0 AWG copper or aluminum (Cu/Al) conductors. Always verify the required torque specifications printed on the breaker faceplate before terminating.
Is the FD3200S suitable for industrial DC control circuits?
Yes, the breaker is UL rated for direct current systems up to 250VDC, where it provides a 10kA interrupting capacity. It can be safely applied in battery or DC control circuits that do not exceed this voltage threshold.
Can the trip unit on the FD3200S be swapped or field-adjusted?
No, the FD3200S is built with a non-interchangeable trip unit. The fixed thermal-magnetic LI (Long-Time, Instantaneous) functions cannot be adjusted for coordination, nor can the unit be swapped for a different amperage or electronic trip module.

175amp molded case circuit breaker
The breaker we purchased was as advertised. The breaker fit perfectly. We purchased reconditioned breaker and it seems to be working properly, accordingly to the golf course maintenance team that supervises the irrigation system.
Next day shipping came quickly even though the 4th of July was coming.
I wish it came with new installations hardware but that isn’t a deal breaker.
