Product FAQs

6 answers
What equipment is the RD316T33W designed to fit?

This Series C, R-Frame breaker is engineered for installation in Eaton and Cutler-Hammer panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.

What does the T33W suffix in the catalog number signify?

The T33W indicates the breaker is equipped with a Digitrip 310 RMS electronic trip unit that provides adjustable Long-Time and Short-Time (LS) protection.

Which lug kits are compatible with this 1600A R-Frame breaker?

For 1600A installations, compatible lug kits include the TA1600RD for aluminum or copper wire (accepts four 500 to 1000 kcmil conductors) and the T1600RD for copper wire only (accepts four 1 AWG to 600 kcmil conductors).

How do the LS trip functions improve system protection?

The adjustable Long-Time and Short-Time settings allow electricians to fine-tune the breaker's trip curve. This ensures proper selective coordination with downstream devices, isolating faults without tripping the main breaker.

Is this breaker interchangeable with older Cutler-Hammer RD models?

Yes, Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and maintained the Series C architecture. The RD316T33W serves as a direct drop-in replacement for legacy Cutler-Hammer breakers with the exact same catalog number.

Does this breaker require a specific mounting configuration?

Yes, the RD316T33W uses a bolt-on connection. It must be bolted directly to the bus assembly within compatible Series C enclosures.
