Product FAQs
6 answersWhat types of panelboards are compatible with the HFDE316035?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line C panelboards, Series C panelboards, switchboards, and Motor Control Centers that accept F-frame breakers.
What does the H in the HFDE316035 catalog number signify?
The H indicates a high interrupting capacity rating. This breaker is rated for 100kAIC at 240VAC and 65kAIC at 480VAC, which provides higher fault protection than standard FDE breakers.
What does the 35 at the end of the HFDE316035 part number mean?
The 35 designates the inclusion of a Digitrip electronic trip unit configured with LSG (Long-time, Short-time, and Ground-fault) protection functions.
Can the HFDE316035 replace older thermal-magnetic HFD breakers?
Yes, it shares the same physical F-frame footprint as older HFD breakers, making it a direct physical replacement. However, it utilizes an advanced electronic trip unit instead of a thermal-magnetic one.
Does the ground fault function on this breaker require external components?
When applying the ground fault (LSG) protection in a 3-phase, 4-wire system, an external neutral current sensor must be installed and wired to the breaker to accurately detect ground faults.
Are the trip settings on the HFDE316035 adjustable?
Yes, the electronic trip unit allows for adjustable long-time, short-time, and ground-fault settings to properly coordinate with other protective devices in your electrical system.
