Part of the legacy Series C family, this 60-amp F-frame breaker delivers reliable thermal-magnetic protection for industrial and marine applications. It mounts into Eaton panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers requiring bolt-on connections. Featuring a specialized 50°C ambient calibration, this unit handles elevated temperature environments while providing a 35kAIC rating at 480VAC. Note that this model is being transitioned to the newer Power Defense PDG2 series.
What does the "V" suffix in the FD3060V catalog number indicate?
The "V" suffix indicates that this circuit breaker has a special 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) ambient temperature calibration, rather than the standard 40 degrees Celsius calibration. This makes it suitable for elevated temperature environments like marine applications or specific industrial enclosures.
What type of enclosures or panels is the Eaton FD3060V compatible with?
This F-frame breaker is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers that accept bolt-on molded case circuit breakers.
Can the FD3060V be used in DC circuits?
Yes, this breaker is rated for 250VDC applications and provides a 10kAIC interrupting rating for direct current systems. When used in DC applications, it must be wired using two poles of the breaker, and the rating applies to substantially non-inductive circuits.
Is the trip unit on the FD3060V adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous protection without adjustable dials.
How does the FD3060V connect to the panelboard and circuit conductors?
As a bolt-on breaker, the line side of the FD3060V bolts directly to the panelboard bus bars. The load side includes standard mechanical lugs that accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire for terminating your circuit conductors.
Is the FD3060V a current-limiting circuit breaker?
No, the FD3060V is a standard interrupting capacity breaker. If your application requires a current-limiting F-frame breaker, you will need to specify an FDC series breaker, which offers higher interrupting ratings and current-limiting performance.
Can the Eaton FD3060V replace older Cutler-Hammer or Westinghouse breakers?
Yes, Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse circuit breaker lines. The FD3060V is a direct replacement for older Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse FD-frame breakers with the exact same specifications.
What does the "LI" trip function code mean on the FD3060V?
The "LI" designation means the breaker provides Long-Time (thermal) and Instantaneous (magnetic) trip functions. This combination protects electrical circuits against both gradual overloads and sudden short-circuit faults.

175amp molded case circuit breaker
The breaker we purchased was as advertised. The breaker fit perfectly. We purchased reconditioned breaker and it seems to be working properly, accordingly to the golf course maintenance team that supervises the irrigation system.
Next day shipping came quickly even though the 4th of July was coming.
I wish it came with new installations hardware but that isn’t a deal breaker.
