Product FAQs
7 answersWhat does the V suffix indicate in the FDC3070V catalog number?
The V suffix indicates that the breaker features a 50 degree Celsius ambient temperature calibration. This makes it suitable for high-temperature environments, such as marine, naval, or specific industrial applications, compared to the standard 40 degree Celsius calibration.
Can the Eaton FDC3070V replace older Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer breakers?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment division. The FDC3070V is a direct, bolt-on replacement for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer FDC3070 breakers used in Series C panelboards.
Is the FDC3070V circuit breaker suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Eaton Series C F-frame thermal magnetic circuit breakers are suitable for reverse feed use. Always verify that your specific panelboard or enclosure allows for reverse feeding and ensure no voltage is present before installation.
What equipment is compatible with the FDC3070V breaker?
This F-frame breaker is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line C panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers, and dedicated F-frame enclosures. It requires standard bolt-on connections for installation.
Can this breaker be used in DC voltage systems?
Yes, the FDC3070V is rated for use in direct current applications up to 250VDC, with an interrupting capacity of 22kAIC. When wiring for DC systems, follow Eaton guidelines for multi-pole series wiring configurations if required by your specific system voltage.
Does this breaker come with factory-installed accessories like a shunt trip or auxiliary switch?
The standard FDC3070V does not include factory-installed internal accessories. However, it can be equipped with field-installable options such as shunt trips, auxiliary switches, undervoltage releases, and alarm switches.
Is the FDC3070V suitable for HVAC equipment protection?
Yes, all Eaton Series C F-frame circuit breakers are HACR rated. This means they are tested and approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
