Designed for versatile installation, the Eaton HFD2030L is a 2-pole, 30A MCCB from the Series C family. It provides robust thermal-magnetic protection for 600VAC systems. This F-Frame breaker features a unit-mount configuration with line and load lugs, allowing flexible integration into control panels. It is succeeded by the PDG22M0030TFFJ. The unit boasts a high interrupting rating of 65kAIC at 480V. It includes fixed LI trip functions and carries HACR and HID certifications.
What is the difference between the Eaton FD2030L and the HFD2030L?
The primary difference is the interrupting capacity. The standard FD2030L is rated for 35 kAIC at 480VAC, while the high-interrupting HFD2030L is rated for 65 kAIC at 480VAC. Both share the same physical dimensions and F-frame footprint.
Can the HFD2030L circuit breaker be reverse fed?
Yes. Eaton Series C F-frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers, including the HFD2030L, do not have line and load restrictions and are suitable for reverse feed applications.
What does the L suffix indicate in the HFD2030L catalog number?
The L suffix indicates that the breaker is supplied with factory-installed line and load lugs.
Which enclosures and panels are compatible with the HFD2030L?
This F-frame breaker is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It can also be unit mounted for use in custom control panels.
Are the factory lugs on the HFD2030L rated for aluminum wire?
Yes, the standard line and load lugs are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG.
Does the HFD2030L provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed for overload and short-circuit protection only. It does not include ground fault or arc fault protection circuitry.
Can the HFD2030L be used in DC applications?
Yes, the thermal-magnetic trip unit in this F-frame breaker is suitable for DC applications up to 250VDC, unlike electronic trip variants which are AC only.
Are the trip settings on the HFD2030L adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip functions cannot be adjusted in the field.
