Product FAQs
8 answersWhat enclosures and panelboards are compatible with the FDCE308036L?
This F-frame breaker is designed for installation in Eaton Series C panelboards, Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
What does the LSIG trip function provide on this breaker?
The electronic trip unit includes Long-Time, Short-Time, Instantaneous, and Ground-Fault (LSIG) protection. This allows panel builders to precisely coordinate the breaker with upstream and downstream devices while providing integrated ground-fault monitoring.
Is the FDCE308036L a current limiting circuit breaker?
Yes. The FDCE series features a current limiting design that rapidly interrupts high-level fault currents, reducing let-through energy and protecting downstream electrical equipment.
Can the FDCE308036L be reverse fed?
Yes. Eaton Series C F-frame electronic trip breakers, including the FDCE series, are suitable for reverse feed applications.
What type of wire connections are standard on the FDCE308036L?
The "L" suffix in the catalog number indicates this breaker includes standard line and load lugs. These feed-thru lugs accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
What is the difference between an FDC and an FDCE breaker?
Both are high-interrupting F-frame breakers, but the FDC uses a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit, while the FDCE features a solid-state electronic trip unit for more precise, adjustable protection settings.
Is the FDCE308036L rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes. In addition to its standard alternating current ratings up to 600VAC, this breaker is rated for use in 250VDC applications.
What specific trip unit technology is used in the FDCE308036L?
This breaker utilizes Eaton's Digitrip electronic trip technology. This solid-state system provides highly accurate, temperature-independent tripping responses compared to traditional thermal-magnetic designs.
