Manufactured under the classic Westinghouse brand, this 90A F-frame molded case circuit breaker delivers reliable power distribution. It features proven thermal-magnetic trip technology and AB De-Ion arc extinction. The bolt-on design mounts into vintage CDP and Pow-R-Line panelboards. It serves as an exact-fit solution for older infrastructure. Rated for 18kAIC at 240VAC, the unit includes line-side pressure fingers. Upgrading to the newer FDB3090 requires an adapter plate.

Product FAQs
5 answers
Can the Eaton FB3090PF replace an older Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer FB3090PF?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment division and integrated it with Cutler-Hammer. The Eaton FB3090PF is the direct replacement for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer breakers with the same catalog number, maintaining the exact same F-Frame dimensions and UL listings.
What type of panelboards accept the FB3090PF circuit breaker?
The FB3090PF is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker specifically designed to mount in Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and legacy Westinghouse CDP and Pow-R-Line series panelboards.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit in the FB3090PF operate?
The FB3090PF features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit providing LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) functions. The thermal element provides long-time protection against gradual overloads, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous tripping to protect the circuit against severe short circuits.
How is the FB3090PF secured to the panelboard bus?
As a bolt-on circuit breaker, the FB3090PF connects directly to the panelboard busbars using threaded fasteners. This provides a highly secure, vibration-resistant mechanical and electrical connection suitable for heavy commercial and industrial applications.
What are the primary safety considerations when installing this bolt-on MCCB?
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician with the panelboard fully de-energized. Because it is a bolt-on F-Frame breaker, the bus connections must be securely torqued to the manufacturer specifications to prevent high-resistance joints, overheating, and potential arc flash hazards.
