Product FAQs
7 answersDoes the RD316T32W circuit breaker include terminal lugs?
No. The W suffix in the catalog number indicates this breaker is shipped without terminals. You must source the appropriate line and load lug kits separately, such as the TA1600RD, based on your conductor requirements.
What trip unit is included with the RD316T32W?
This breaker is equipped with a Digitrip 310 RMS electronic trip unit, denoted by the T32 suffix. It provides adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous (LSI) protection for precise electrical system coordination.
Which lug kit is recommended for standard 1600A installations with this breaker?
The Eaton TA1600RD is the standard lug kit for 1600A R-Frame breakers. It accommodates four 500 to 1000 kcmil copper or aluminum conductors per phase.
What does the RD prefix indicate in the Eaton Series C family?
The RD prefix designates the standard interrupting capacity version of the R-Frame circuit breaker. For applications requiring a higher interrupting capacity in the same physical footprint, the RDC frame is used.
Is the RD316T32W a drawout or fixed-mount breaker?
This is a fixed-mount, bolt-on circuit breaker. It is designed to be hard-bolted directly to the bus in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
How are the LSI protection settings adjusted on this breaker?
The Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous trip functions are configured using the adjustable dials located directly on the face of the Digitrip 310 electronic trip unit.
Can this breaker be used in older Cutler-Hammer switchboards?
Yes, Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Series C R-Frame breakers are physically and electrically identical. The RD316T32W can be used as a direct replacement in legacy Cutler-Hammer switchboards designed for R-Frame breakers.
