Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with a 22kAIC interrupting capacity, making it suitable for compatible direct current systems.
What does the LI trip function mean on this breaker?
The LI designation stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The fixed Long-Time function provides thermal overload protection, while the adjustable Instantaneous function provides magnetic short-circuit protection.

How is the instantaneous magnetic trip adjusted on this breaker?
The magnetic trip is adjustable via a dial on the front of the trip unit. For this 90A Series C breaker, the dial allows adjustment from 5 to 10 times the continuous ampere rating, providing a magnetic trip range of 450A to 900A.
Can I use the HJD3090 to replace an older Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer HJD breaker?
Yes, Eaton acquired the Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer distribution equipment lines. The Eaton HJD3090 is a direct replacement for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer breakers with the exact same catalog number.

Exactly what we needed, delivered complete and on time.
SuperBreakers had exactly what we needed (Breaker, Trip Unit, lug kits) - the breaker came quickly and with trip unit installed (ordered as a separate item) making integration quick and easy.
