Product FAQs
6 answersCan the FDE316032L replace a standard FD thermal-magnetic breaker in an existing panelboard?
Yes. The FDE316032L shares the same footprint, dimensions, and connectors as standard Series C FD breakers. However, because the faceplate profile differs, you will need to replace the filler plate in the panelboard.
Does the FDE316032L require a separate rating plug to set the amperage?
No. The integrated Digitrip 310+ electronic trip unit does not use interchangeable rating plugs. It features selectable dial settings directly on the breaker face to adjust the continuous current rating.
What trip functions are adjustable on the FDE316032L?
This breaker features an LSI electronic trip unit, allowing you to adjust the Long-Time pickup and delay, Short-Time pickup and delay (with a flat response), and Instantaneous pickup settings to coordinate with your specific system requirements.
Can the FDE316032L electronic circuit breaker be reverse fed?
Yes. Eaton Series C F-Frame electronic circuit breakers, including the FDE316032L, are suitable for reverse feed applications.
How can I test the electronic trip unit on the FDE316032L?
You can test the Digitrip 310+ trip unit using the Eaton MTST230V functional test kit, which plugs directly into the test port on the front of the breaker.
Does the FDE316032L trip unit include thermal memory?
Yes. The electronic trip unit incorporates a thermal memory feature that replicates the thermal heating and cooling of the load during overload conditions to protect downstream equipment.
