Part of the Series C family, this 60A F-frame breaker delivers dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection. The thermal-magnetic trip unit features fixed long-time and instantaneous functions tailored for commercial loads. This component integrates into Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers via a secure bolt-on connection. Capable of handling 14kA fault currents at 480VAC, the unit includes HACR certification for HVAC equipment and reverse feed support.
What panelboards are compatible with the EHD3060 circuit breaker?
This Series C, F-frame breaker is designed for bolt-on installation in Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and legacy Westinghouse panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers that accept standard F-frame components.
Is the EHD3060 HACR rated for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR certified, meaning it is fully approved to provide branch-circuit overcurrent protection for commercial heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Does this breaker support reverse feed applications?
Yes. Eaton Series C F-frame breakers, including the EHD3060, are designed without line or load orientation restrictions, making them fully suitable for reverse feed wiring setups.
What does the "LI" trip function mean on this model?
The LI designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (L) protection to prevent damage from sustained overloads, and Instantaneous (I) protection to quickly clear short-circuit faults.
Can I swap out the trip unit to change the amperage rating?
No, the EHD3060 is built with a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The 60-amp rating is non-interchangeable and cannot be adjusted or swapped in the field.
What type of wire can be used with the included lugs?
The standard load-side lugs accept either copper or aluminum (Cu/Al) conductors. They accommodate wire sizes ranging from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG.
Are there higher interrupting capacity alternatives to the EHD3060?
Yes. If your electrical system requires a higher fault-current rating than 14kA at 480VAC, you can utilize other Series C F-frame breakers such as the FD, HFD, or FDC series. They share the same physical dimensions and bolt-on footprint as the EHD3060 but offer elevated AIC ratings.
Is the EHD3060 backwards compatible with older Cutler-Hammer or Westinghouse breakers?
Yes. Following corporate acquisitions, Eaton continues to manufacture this line. The current Eaton EHD3060 serves as an exact, drop-in replacement for older Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse breakers that share the same EHD3060 catalog number.
