The HFDE322535L is a 3-pole, 225A molded case circuit breaker from Eaton's Series C F-Frame family. Designed for industrial use, it provides advanced protection via a Digitrip 310+ electronic trip unit. This unit-mount breaker installs into Pow-R-Line C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers, accepting 4 to 4/0 AWG wire. Rated 65 kAIC at 480V, it features adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, and Ground Fault (LSG) settings for precise coordination and true RMS sensing.

Product FAQs
7 answers
Does the HFDE322535L include instantaneous trip protection?
No. The 35 suffix in the catalog number indicates a Digitrip 310+ electronic trip unit with LSG functions (Long-Time, Short-Time, and Ground-Fault). It does not include an instantaneous trip function.
What is the difference between the FDE322535L and the HFDE322535L?
The difference is the short-circuit interrupting rating. The HFDE322535L is the high-interrupting version rated at 65 kAIC at 480VAC, while the standard FDE322535L is rated for 35 kAIC at 480VAC.
Can the HFDE322535L be reverse fed?
Yes. Eaton Series C FDE electronic breakers are suitable for reverse-feed applications.
Is the HFDE322535L rated for DC applications?
No. Eaton FDE electronic trip breakers do not carry DC ratings. If a DC rating is required, a thermal-magnetic F-frame breaker must be used.
Do I need a neutral current sensor (CT) for the HFDE322535L?
Neutral CTs are not included with the breaker and must be ordered separately. A neutral sensor is only required if you are installing this ground-fault (LSG) breaker in a four-wire system. Three-wire systems do not require a neutral sensor.
Is the HFDE322535L 100% rated?
No. Eaton Series C FDE electronic breakers are standard 80% rated devices.
Can the HFDE322535L replace an older thermal-magnetic HFD breaker?
Yes. The F-frame electronic breaker shares the same footprint, dimensions, and connectors as the standard HFD breaker. However, if installing in a panelboard, the deadfront filler plate is different and will need to be replaced.
