Product FAQs
6 answersCan I install the FDCE322536L in a standard residential load center?
No. The FDCE322536L is an F-frame molded case circuit breaker designed for commercial and industrial applications, such as Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It will not fit in standard residential load centers.
What does the 36 in the FDCE322536L catalog number signify?
The 36 indicates that the breaker is equipped with a Digitrip 310+ LSIG electronic trip unit. This provides adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, Instantaneous, and Ground-Fault protection.
What is the recommended torque for the lug terminals on this breaker?
The standard 3TA225FD aluminum lugs used on this 225A F-frame breaker require a tightening torque of 120 lb-in (13.6 Nm) for 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG wire.
Can the FDCE322536L be reverse fed?
Yes. Eaton Series C F-frame electronic circuit breakers, including those with the Digitrip 310+ trip unit, are suitable for reverse feed applications.
How adjustable is the ground fault protection on this breaker?
The ground fault pickup on the 310+ LSIG trip unit can be adjusted from 0.2 to 1.0 times the frame rating. For this 225A breaker, the pickup range is 45A to 225A. The ground fault time delay can be set to instantaneous, 120 milliseconds, or 300 milliseconds.
What is the difference between the FDE, HFDE, and FDCE versions of this breaker?
The prefix indicates the interrupting capacity (AIC) at 480VAC. The standard FDE is rated at 35kAIC, the high-interrupting HFDE is rated at 65kAIC, and the current-limiting FDCE is rated at 100kAIC at 480VAC.
