Description
Built for specialized industrial applications, this 30-amp three-pole molded case circuit breaker combines thermal-magnetic tripping with earth leakage protection. It safeguards critical machinery from damaging ground faults while maintaining standard overcurrent defense. This panel-mount configuration fits Eaton Series C and Pow-R-Line C panelboards. Note that this specific model is replaced by the EGH3030FFG and ELEBN3125G combination. It delivers a 65kAIC interrupting capacity at 480VAC.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhat panelboards accept the ELHFD3030L circuit breaker?
This F-frame breaker is designed for bolt-on installation in Eaton Series C panelboards, Pow-R-Line C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
What is the difference between the GFEP protection on this breaker and standard GFCI?
The ELHFD3030L provides Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP), which typically operates at a 30mA threshold to protect machinery from equipment-damaging faults. Standard GFCI breakers operate at a 5mA threshold for personnel protection. This breaker is not intended for Class A personnel protection.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the ELHFD3030L lugs?
The standard lugs accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG wire and are rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors.
What does the LIG trip function indicate on this breaker?
The LIG designation means the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time protection for overloads, Instantaneous protection for short circuits, and Ground-Fault protection for equipment-level earth leakage.
Is the ELHFD3030L interchangeable with standard HFD breakers?
While it shares the same F-frame physical footprint and bolt-on mounting as standard HFD breakers, the ELHFD3030L includes integrated earth leakage protection. It should only be used where equipment ground fault protection is specifically required by the application or electrical code.
