Product FAQs
6 answersWhat is the modern replacement for the Eaton FDE322532?
Eaton is phasing out the Series C line in favor of the Power Defense series. The direct replacement for this breaker is the Power Defense PDG23G0225E2NJ, which matches the 225A rating, 3-pole configuration, and LSI electronic trip functions.
What is the adjustable amperage range for the FDE322532?
Equipped with a Digitrip 310+ electronic trip unit, the 225A frame allows the continuous current to be adjusted from 100A up to 225A using the selectable dials on the front of the breaker.
What replacement terminal lugs are used on the FDE322532?
The standard pressure-type lugs for this 225A F-frame breaker are catalog number 3TA225FD. These terminals accept 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FDE322532?
This F-frame breaker is designed to bolt into Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers that are configured to accept F-frame molded case circuit breakers.
How does the LSI trip unit function on the FDE322532?
The LSI designation means the electronic trip unit provides adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous protection. This allows panel builders to precisely shape the time-current curve for optimal selective coordination with downstream devices.
Does the FDE322532 provide ground fault protection?
No, this breaker features an LSI trip unit, which does not include ground fault protection. Applications requiring ground fault monitoring must use an LSIG trip unit along with a separate neutral sensor.
