Product FAQs
7 answersWhat equipment is the HFDE322522L compatible with?
This F-frame breaker mounts in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It physically fits the same mounting space as standard FD, HFD, and FDC circuit breakers.
What does the "22L" suffix indicate on this Eaton breaker?
The "22" specifies a Digitrip 210+ electronic trip unit with adjustable LSI (Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous) protection functions. The "L" indicates that both line and load lugs are factory installed.
How does the HFDE322522L differ from a standard FDE322522L?
The "H" in the HFDE prefix designates a high interrupting rating. This breaker provides 65 kAIC at 480VAC, compared to the 35 kAIC rating of a standard FDE model.
What wire gauge is supported by the included terminals?
The factory-installed line and load lugs accept 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
Can this electronic trip breaker replace a thermal-magnetic HFD breaker?
Yes. The HFDE322522L shares the exact physical dimensions and mounting footprint as standard Series C thermal-magnetic F-frame breakers, making it a direct drop-in replacement when upgrading to electronic LSI protection.
How do you adjust the trip settings on the HFDE322522L?
The front face of the Digitrip 210+ unit features dial switches that allow electricians to configure the continuous current rating (Ir) as well as the short-time pickup and delay settings to meet specific coordination requirements.
Does this breaker provide equipment ground fault protection?
No. The HFDE322522L features an LSI trip unit (Long-Time, Short-Time, Instantaneous). If your application requires ground fault protection (LSIG), you will need a model equipped with a Digitrip 310+ trip unit, typically indicated by a "36" suffix.
