Product FAQs
8 answersWhat types of enclosures or equipment are compatible with the FDE308032L?
This F-frame breaker is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
What are the adjustable amperage settings for this 80A electronic trip breaker?
The Digitrip 310+ trip unit on the 80A frame features eight continuous current settings: 15A, 20A, 30A, 40A, 50A, 60A, 70A, and 80A.
What does the 32 signify in the FDE308032L catalog number?
The 32 indicates that the breaker is equipped with a Digitrip 310+ electronic trip unit featuring LSI (Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous) protection with a flat response short delay.
What are the short delay time settings available on the FDE308032L?
The Digitrip 310+ LSI trip unit includes three flat response settings for short delay time: Instantaneous, 120 ms, and 300 ms.
Can the FDE308032L be reverse fed?
Yes, Eaton FDE electronic trip circuit breakers are suitable for reverse-feed applications.
What type of wire connections are included with this breaker?
The L suffix in the catalog number indicates it comes with standard line and load lugs, which accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
Can this electronic trip breaker replace an older thermal-magnetic F-frame breaker?
Yes, the FDE308032L shares the same physical dimensions as standard Series C F-frame thermal-magnetic breakers. It can be used as a direct replacement to upgrade a system with electronic LSI trip capabilities.
What is the advantage of the LSI trip unit on this breaker?
The Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous (LSI) functions allow electricians to fine-tune the trip curve. This provides better selective coordination with downstream breakers and improved short-circuit protection compared to standard thermal-magnetic units.
