Built for industrial power distribution, the Eaton HKA3150 is a 150-amp, three-pole molded case circuit breaker. It belongs to the trusted Mark 75 series, offering robust performance for heavy-duty commercial facilities. The breaker mounts into legacy Westinghouse enclosures, Eaton Pow-R-Line C panelboards, and motor control centers. For upgrading older systems, this K-Frame unit is easily replaced by the modern KD3150 model.

Product FAQs
5 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the HKA3150 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line C panelboards, legacy Westinghouse panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It mounts using a standard bolt-on configuration.
Can the Eaton HKA3150 replace older Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer HKA3150 breakers?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse circuit breaker lines. The current Eaton HKA3150 is a direct, drop-in replacement for the legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer models bearing the exact same catalog number.
What is the difference between the KA3150 and the HKA3150?
The HKA3150 is the high interrupting capacity version of the standard KA3150. While both are 150A, 3 pole K-frame breakers, the HKA model provides a higher short circuit rating, such as 35kAIC at 480VAC compared to the standard KA rating.
How do I adjust the trip settings on the HKA3150?
This breaker features a fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip unit. The instantaneous magnetic trip threshold can be adjusted using the dial located on the front face of the breaker to coordinate with downstream loads and prevent nuisance tripping.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on this breaker?
The standard lugs accept copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 4 AWG up to 350 kcmil. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation as listed on the breaker faceplate.
