Product FAQs
7 answersWhat protection settings can be adjusted on the FDE308036L?
This breaker is equipped with a Digitrip 310+ electronic trip unit that provides adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, Instantaneous, and Ground-Fault (LSIG) parameters. This allows for precise coordination with other protective devices in your electrical system.
What equipment is the FDE308036L designed to fit?
As an Eaton Series C F-frame breaker, it is compatible with Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers (MCCs) configured for unit-mount breakers.
Are line and load lugs included with the FDE308036L?
Yes, the L suffix in the catalog number signifies that factory-installed line and load lugs are included. These terminals accommodate 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
Can I substitute an HFDE308036L or FDCE308036L for this breaker?
Yes, the HFDE and FDCE models share the same physical F-frame dimensions and electronic trip units, but offer higher interrupting ratings (65kAIC and 100kAIC at 480VAC, respectively) compared to the 35kAIC rating of the FDE308036L. They can be safely used if a higher fault current rating is required.
Is the FDE308036L a plug-on or bolt-on breaker?
It is a unit-mount, or bolt-on, circuit breaker. It is designed to be hard-wired in a feed-thru configuration rather than plugging directly onto a panelboard bus.
Does the FDE308036L provide personnel ground-fault protection (GFCI)?
No, the ground-fault (LSIG) function on this molded case circuit breaker is designed for equipment protection (GFEP) against destructive arcing ground faults. It does not provide the 5mA personnel protection found in standard GFCI receptacles or breakers.
Can the FDE308036L be reverse fed?
Yes, Eaton Series C F-frame electronic circuit breakers can be reverse fed. This makes them suitable for applications where the power source may enter from the load side.
