Product FAQs
8 answersWhat enclosures and panelboards are compatible with the PDG13G0020TFFJ?
This Frame 1 molded case circuit breaker is designed for use with Eaton Power Defense panelboards, switchboards, and enclosures.
What wire sizes are accepted by the standard box lugs on this breaker?
The standard line and load terminals accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 3/0 AWG. Both aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) conductors can be used.
What does the "TFFJ" suffix mean in the PDG13G0020TFFJ catalog number?
In the Eaton Power Defense catalog system, "TFF" indicates a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings. The "J" signifies that the breaker comes with standard line and load box lug terminals.
What do the "G" designators mean in the PDG13G0020TFFJ catalog number?
The first "G" indicates it is a globally rated breaker meeting UL, CSA, IEC, and CCC standards. The second "G" designates the interrupting rating, which is 35 kAIC at 480VAC for this Frame 1 model.
Can the PDG13G0020TFFJ be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 22 kAIC at that voltage.
Are the trip settings adjustable on this 20A circuit breaker?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic (LI) trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip thresholds cannot be adjusted in the field.
Can the PDG13G0020TFFJ be mounted on a DIN rail?
Yes, Power Defense Frame 1 breakers can be DIN rail mounted, but you will need to install a separate Eaton DIN rail adapter accessory designed for 3-pole configurations.
Is the Power Defense Frame 1 a direct replacement for older Eaton Series C breakers?
Power Defense is Eaton's newest generation of molded case circuit breakers, replacing legacy lines like the Series C. However, upgrading from older frames to Power Defense requires updated Eaton mounting hardware or retrofit kits to fit existing equipment.
