Built for robust industrial applications, the Eaton FDB2150 provides 150A, 2-pole molded case circuit protection from the Series C F-Frame family. It delivers dependable thermal-magnetic LI protection. This panel-mount unit installs into Eaton Series C panelboards and switchboards. It includes load-side lugs and serves as a legacy replacement, with an upgrade path to the PDG22F0150TFFJ. Rated 18 kAIC at 240VAC, it is HACR rated and reverse-feed capable for flexible distribution.
What is the difference between the FDB2150, FD2150, and HFD2150?
These breakers share the same physical dimensions and F-Frame footprint but have different interrupting ratings. The FDB2150 is rated at 14kAIC at 480VAC, the FD2150 is rated at 35kAIC at 480VAC, and the HFD2150 is rated at 65kAIC at 480VAC.
Can I use the Eaton FDB2150 to replace an older Westinghouse FDB2150?
Yes, Eaton acquired the Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer breaker lines. The current Eaton FDB2150 is a direct, drop-in replacement for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer FDB breakers.
What is the modern Power Defense equivalent for the FDB2150?
The direct upgrade path in Eaton's newer Power Defense line is the PDG22F0150TFFJ, which serves as the modern equivalent for 150A, 2-pole F-Frame applications.
Can the FDB2150 be reverse fed?
Yes, Eaton Series C F-Frame circuit breakers, including the FDB2150, are suitable for reverse feed applications.
Is the FDB2150 HACR rated for HVAC applications?
Yes, all Eaton F-Frame molded case circuit breakers carry an HACR rating, making them suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits.
Does the mounting orientation of the FDB2150 affect its performance?
No, Eaton Series C F-Frame breakers can be mounted in horizontal or vertical orientations without affecting their thermal-magnetic trip characteristics.
Are lugs included with the FDB2150, and what wire sizes do they accept?
Standard load-side lugs are typically included and accept 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
Is the FDB2150 rated for use in DC circuits?
Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC, making it suitable for specific direct current applications.
