Product FAQs
7 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the HFDE322533?
This F-frame breaker is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, motor control centers, and switchboards.
What is the difference between the Eaton FDE322533 and the HFDE322533?
The difference is the short-circuit interrupting rating. The standard FDE322533 is rated for 35 kAIC at 480VAC, while the HFDE322533 is the high-interrupting version rated for 65 kAIC at 480VAC.
Can I field-install internal accessories like a shunt trip in the HFDE322533?
No. Eaton Series C F-frame electronic breakers are factory sealed. Underwriters Laboratories requires internal accessories, such as shunt trips or auxiliary switches, to be factory installed.
Can the HFDE322533 directly replace an older thermal-magnetic HFD breaker?
Yes, this electronic trip breaker shares the same footprint, dimensions, and lug connectors as standard thermal-magnetic HFD breakers. Note that the panelboard filler plate is different and must be replaced when upgrading.
Is the HFDE322533 a 100% rated circuit breaker?
No, Eaton Series C F-frame electronic breakers are standard 80% rated devices.
What trip unit is installed in the HFDE322533?
It is equipped with a Digitrip 310+ electronic trip unit, which provides adjustable Long-Time and Short-Time (LS) protection settings for precise system coordination.
How are the protection settings adjusted on the HFDE322533?
The Digitrip 310+ trip unit features adjustment dials on the front face of the breaker to configure the Long-Time continuous current rating and the Short-Time pickup and delay settings.
