Product FAQs
5 answersWhat does the "V" suffix in the FDB3015V catalog number indicate?
The "V" suffix signifies that the breaker is calibrated for a 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) ambient temperature instead of the standard 40 degrees Celsius. This specialized calibration is often required for marine applications, high-heat industrial environments, or specific naval specifications.
Can I install the FDB3015V in older Westinghouse panelboards?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse electrical distribution line, and this Series C F-Frame breaker is a direct, backward-compatible replacement for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer FDB3015V breakers installed in existing panelboards and motor control centers.
Are the trip settings on the FDB3015V adjustable?
No. This breaker is equipped with a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit featuring fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous (LI) trip functions. The trip curve is factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
What type of wire can be used with the standard lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed line and load terminals accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG conductors. The lugs are dual-rated for either copper (Cu) or aluminum (Al) wire.
How does the FDB3015V mount into a panelboard?
This is a bolt-on circuit breaker. It requires bolted connections directly to the panelboard bus bars, which is standard for Eaton Series C F-Frame panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
