Description
Designed for standalone configurations, the HFD1030L utilizes a unit-mount design complete with line and load lugs. This 30A single-pole Series C component serves heavy-duty commercial and industrial environments. The F-Frame footprint installs into compatible Eaton switchboards and control panels without requiring a specialized bus connection. While currently active, this model is eventually transitioning to the Power Defense PDG2 platform. Rated for 65kAIC at 277VAC, it limits fault damage.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersWhat is the difference between the Eaton HFD1030 and HFD1030L?
The L suffix in the HFD1030L catalog number indicates that the breaker is supplied with factory-installed line and load lugs. The core breaker specifications and performance remain identical to the standard HFD1030.
What is the difference between the FD1030 and HFD1030L?
Both are 30A, 1-pole Series C F-frame breakers, but the HFD series features a higher interrupting capacity. The HFD1030L is rated for up to 100kAIC at 240VAC and 65kAIC at 277VAC, whereas the standard FD1030 has lower short-circuit ratings. The L suffix also indicates that lugs are included.
What equipment is compatible with the HFD1030L breaker?
This F-frame breaker is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers, and OEM power distribution assemblies that accept unit-mount F-frame breakers.
Can the HFD1030L be used in DC power applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 125VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC.
Is the HFD1030L suitable for reverse-feed applications?
Yes, Eaton Series C F-frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers like the HFD1030L do not have line or load restrictions and can be reverse-fed.
What is the modern Power Defense replacement for the HFD1030L?
Eaton is transitioning Series C breakers to the Power Defense platform. The direct replacement for the 1-pole 30A HFD1030 is the Power Defense PDG21M0030TFFJ, which requires updated mounting hardware for retrofit installations.
Is the HFD1030L HACR rated?
Yes, all Eaton Series C F-frame molded case circuit breakers are HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) rated for use with HVAC equipment.
