Belonging to the legacy F-frame family, this 90-amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker provides essential overcurrent protection for commercial facilities. It features fixed thermal and magnetic trip settings for consistent performance. Designed for bolt-on installation, the unit mounts into classic Westinghouse and Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards or switchboards. It serves as a reliable substitute for FDB3090 models. Rated 18kAIC at 240V, it handles standard fault currents effectively.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FB3090 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in classic Westinghouse and Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Is the FB3090 a direct replacement for older Westinghouse breakers?
Yes, Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment line. An Eaton or Cutler-Hammer FB3090 will directly replace an original Westinghouse FB3090 without requiring adapters or modifications to the enclosure.
Can the FB3090 substitute for FDB3090 breakers?
Yes, the FB3090 shares the same physical F-frame dimensions and mounting footprint as the FDB3090. It serves as a reliable drop-in substitute for Pow-R-Line panelboards requiring a 90-amp, 14kAIC at 480VAC rating.
Is the FB3090 suitable for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, it is rated for up to 250VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity. When applying it to DC systems, ensure the application meets Eaton guidelines for non-inductive circuits and proper pole wiring.
Can the FB3090 be reverse fed in a panelboard?
It can be reverse fed only if the breaker case does not have LINE and LOAD markings. When backfeeding, the National Electrical Code requires the use of an approved retaining bracket or hold-down kit to secure the breaker to the panel bus.
