Description
Built for commercial and industrial applications, the Eaton ELHFD3050L provides reliable equipment-level ground fault protection (GFEP). This F-frame molded case circuit breaker safeguards machinery from damaging earth leakage currents. It mounts into Eaton Series C and Pow-R-Line C panelboards. Note that this model is replaced by the EGH3050FFG and ELEBN3125G combination for Series G upgrades. Featuring a thermal-magnetic trip unit, it delivers a robust 65 kAIC interrupt rating at 480VAC.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhat panelboards accept the ELHFD3050L circuit breaker?
This Series C, F-Frame breaker installs into Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Pow-R-Line C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Does the ELHFD3050L provide personnel or equipment ground fault protection?
It provides Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) with a 30mA earth leakage pickup threshold. It is not a 5mA Class A GFCI breaker intended for personnel protection.
What wire sizes do the factory lugs on the ELHFD3050L accept?
The included line and load side lugs accommodate copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG.
Is the ELHFD3050L part of the Eaton Series C or Series G family?
The ELHFD3050L is a Series C, F-Frame molded case circuit breaker. While some system data may reference Series G, this specific catalog number is a direct fit for legacy Series C installations requiring earth leakage protection.
Can the thermal or magnetic trip settings be adjusted on this breaker?
No. The ELHFD3050L features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous (LI) trip functions.
What type of fault conditions does the ELHFD3050L protect against?
The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides protection against overloads and short circuits, while the integrated earth leakage module safeguards machinery from damaging ground fault currents.
