Designed for high-capacity power distribution, the Eaton KDC3175 is a 175A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. As part of the Series C family, it delivers robust overcurrent protection for demanding commercial and industrial applications. The K-frame breaker installs into Eaton switchboards, panelboards, and motor control centers. It comes equipped with line and load lugs for secure wire termination. With a 100 kAIC rating at 480V, this HACR-rated MCCB offers reliable thermal-magnetic trip.

Product FAQs
5 answers
What is the difference between the Eaton KD3175, HKD3175, and KDC3175 circuit breakers?
The primary difference is their short-circuit interrupting ratings. The KD3175 is rated for 35kA at 480VAC, the HKD3175 is rated for 65kA at 480VAC, and the KDC3175 offers the highest interrupting capacity at 100kA at 480VAC. All three share the same physical Series C K-frame dimensions and mounting footprint.
What types of equipment are compatible with the KDC3175?
The KDC3175 is a Series C K-frame circuit breaker designed for installation in Eaton and Cutler-Hammer switchboards, motor control centers, and Series C panelboards. It requires standard K-frame mounting hardware and chassis space.
Can the Eaton KDC3175 be reverse fed?
Yes, the KDC3175 is suitable for reverse feed applications. Because it uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit without specific line and load directional restrictions, power can be supplied to either the top or bottom terminals.
How does the trip unit on the KDC3175 operate?
The KDC3175 features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with an LI (Long-Time, Instantaneous) function. It provides fixed thermal protection for standard overloads and an adjustable magnetic dial, allowing electricians to fine-tune the instantaneous short-circuit trip point for proper system coordination.
Does the KDC3175 provide ground fault protection?
No, the KDC3175 is equipped with a standard LI (Long-Time, Instantaneous) thermal-magnetic trip unit. It does not include ground fault sensing. If ground fault protection is required, a breaker with an electronic trip unit featuring LSIG or LIG functions must be used.
