Designed for versatile industrial applications, this 30-amp unit-mount circuit breaker comes factory-equipped with both line and load lugs. The F-frame device integrates seamlessly into Eaton motor control centers and standalone enclosures requiring independent mounting. With a powerful 100kAIC rating at 480VAC, this current-limiting breaker utilizes fixed thermal-magnetic trip units to handle severe fault conditions while supporting reverse feed configurations.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What is the difference between the Eaton FD2030, HFD2030, and FDC2030L?
These are all 30-amp, 2-pole, F-frame Series C breakers, but they have different interrupting capacities. The FD2030 is the standard tier, the HFD2030 is the high-interrupting tier, and the FDC2030L is the current-limiting tier with the highest interrupting rating (100kAIC at 480VAC). The L suffix indicates that line and load lugs are factory installed.
What does the C in the FDC frame designation mean?
The C indicates that this is a current-limiting circuit breaker. It is designed to clear severe fault currents extremely fast, providing a high interrupting rating of 100kAIC at 480VAC and 200kAIC at 240VAC.
How does the FDC2030L mount into an enclosure?
This is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It bolts directly to the chassis or backpan of compatible Eaton Series C panelboards, Pow-R-Line C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers, rather than snapping onto a busbar like a plug-on breaker.
What wire sizes are accepted by the standard lugs on the FDC2030L?
The factory-installed line and load lugs accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
Are the trip units on the FDC2030L adjustable?
No, this breaker features a non-interchangeable, fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory set for 30 amps and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Can the FDC2030L be used in DC applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with a DC interrupting capacity of 22kAIC.
