Product FAQs
9 answersWhat does the PDF prefix indicate in the PDF23F0150B2NJ catalog number?
The PDF prefix designates that this Power Defense Frame 2 breaker is UL listed for continuous operation at 100 percent of its 150A rating. Standard PDG breakers are typically rated for 80 percent continuous load.
What wire sizes are accepted by the standard lugs on the PDF23F0150B2NJ?
This breaker includes standard line and load lugs (Eaton part number PDG2X3TA225) that accept 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.
What adjustability does the PXR10 LSI trip unit provide?
The integrated PXR10 electronic trip unit features Long-Time (L), Short-Time (S), and Instantaneous (I) protection settings. This allows panel builders and electricians to fine-tune the trip curve for precise selective coordination with downstream devices.
Can the PDF23F0150B2NJ be installed in legacy Cutler-Hammer Series C panelboards?
The Power Defense Frame 2 is Eaton's modern equivalent to the legacy Series C FD-frame. However, physical dimensions and mounting hardware differ. You must use a Power Defense-specific retrofit kit or verify compatibility with your exact enclosure before upgrading from a Series C breaker.
Is this a plug-on or bolt-on circuit breaker?
The PDF23F0150B2NJ is a unit-mount, or bolt-on, circuit breaker. It must be mechanically fastened to the enclosure backpan or mounting bracket using screws, rather than plugging directly onto a busbar.
Does the PDF23F0150B2NJ include built-in ground fault protection?
No. The LSI designation on the PXR10 trip unit indicates Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous protection only. It does not include the G (Ground Fault) function required for equipment ground fault protection.
How does the interrupting rating change based on system voltage?
The breaker provides a 35kAIC rating at 240VAC, a 25kAIC rating at 480VAC, and a 14kAIC rating at 600VAC. You must ensure the available fault current at the installation point does not exceed these values for your specific system voltage.
What is the standard terminal replacement kit for this breaker?
If the original lugs are damaged, the direct replacement terminal kit for the PDF23F0150B2NJ is Eaton catalog number PDG2X3TA225, which includes three lugs for either the line or load side.
Can I test and configure the trip unit using software?
Yes. The integrated PXR10 trip unit is compatible with Eaton's Power Xpert Protection Manager (PXPM). Electricians can connect to the trip unit via USB to test, troubleshoot, and verify settings.
