Operating within Eaton's Series C F-Frame family, the FDB2010 is a two-pole, 10A molded case circuit breaker for commercial and industrial systems. This unit mount MCCB integrates into Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It can be substituted with the FDB2010L model. Equipped with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit, it offers long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. It features a 14kAIC rating at 480VAC.
Can the Eaton FDB2010 replace an older Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer FDB2010?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer distribution equipment lines. The FDB2010 maintains the exact same physical dimensions, bolt-on mounting, and F-Frame footprint as the legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer versions.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FDB2010?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It requires a bolt-on connection and will not fit in standard load centers that use plug-on or bolt-on miniature breakers like the CH or BR series.
What type of wire and torque specifications apply to the standard lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire. Always refer to the label on the side of the breaker or the specific lug body for exact torque requirements, as values vary based on the wire gauge and conductor material used.
How does the FDB2010 handle DC voltage applications?
This breaker is rated for use in DC circuits up to 250VDC, providing a 10kA interrupting capacity. It is suitable for industrial DC control panels or equipment that fall within the 10A and 250VDC limits.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on the FDB2010?
No. This specific model features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. If your application requires adjustable short-circuit pickup or adjustable continuous current, you will need to select a different Series C breaker equipped with adjustable magnetic dials or an electronic trip unit.
What safety precautions should be taken before installing this F-Frame breaker?
Verify that the equipment is fully de-energized and locked out. Ensure the available fault current at the installation point does not exceed the 14kAIC rating at 480VAC or 600VAC. Inspect the bus connections for pitting or damage before bolting the new breaker into place.
