Product FAQs
7 answersCan the PDG23M0100E2NL replace older Series C electronic circuit breakers?
Yes, this Power Defense Frame 2 breaker serves as a direct replacement for legacy Eaton Series C F-frame electronic breakers, such as the HFDE3100. You will need updated Eaton mounting hardware during installation due to the modern platform design.
What does the E2NL signify in the PDG23M0100E2NL catalog number?
The E2 indicates it is equipped with a PXR20 LSI electronic trip unit. The N means it has no integrated communications or relays, and the L specifies standard load-side terminals only.
How do I adjust the LSI settings on the PXR20 trip unit?
The PXR20 electronic trip unit features an intuitive user interface on the front of the breaker for adjusting long-time, short-time, and instantaneous settings. It can also be configured and tested using Eaton Power Xpert Protection Manager software via a USB connection.
How is the PDG23M0100E2NL connected within a panel?
It features a bolt-on connection for the line side to mount directly to the panelboard bus, and includes standard lugs on the load side that accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
Does the PDG23M0100E2NL feature an Arcflash Reduction Maintenance System (ARMS)?
No. The E2 designation in the catalog number indicates a standard PXR20 LSI trip unit. ARMS is not included on this specific model, but is available on Power Defense variants with ALSI or ALSIG trip units.
Are legacy Series C handle mechanisms compatible with this PDG2 breaker?
No. Series C handle mechanisms have different cover geometry and are not compatible with Power Defense Frame 2 breakers. The PDG2 also features through-cover accessory panels that require PDG-specific handle mechanisms.
Can I add internal accessories like shunt trips to the PDG23M0100E2NL?
Yes, the Power Defense Frame 2 platform supports field-installable internal accessories, including auxiliary contacts, alarm switches, and shunt trips. These install easily behind the front cover accessory panels.
