Built for demanding commercial and industrial applications, the FDB3015V provides 15A of thermal-magnetic protection with specialized 50°C ambient calibration. This F-Frame MCCB installs into Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers using a standard bolt-on connection. Rated for 14kAIC at 480VAC, it features reverse feed capability and load side lugs for versatile wiring configurations across marine and industrial power systems.
What 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.
