Product FAQs
6 answersWhat type of enclosures and panels accept the FD1040 breaker?
This F-frame breaker is designed to mount in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It requires a bolt-on connection and is not compatible with standard residential plug-on load centers.
Can the FD1040 be used in DC voltage applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for up to 125VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC, making it suitable for direct current circuits within those limits.
Does the Eaton FD1040 replace older Westinghouse FD1040 breakers?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment division, so the Cutler-Hammer or Eaton FD1040 is a direct, drop-in replacement for the legacy Westinghouse FD1040.
Is the FD1040 suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes, standard thermal-magnetic Series C F-frame breakers like the FD1040 are suitable for reverse feed applications because they do not have line and load specific internal components.
What wire sizes are accepted by the standard lugs on the FD1040?
The standard factory-installed line and load lugs accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire. Ensure you use a suitable joint compound when terminating aluminum conductors to prevent overheating.
What is the difference between the FD1040 and the EHD1040?
Both are 40-amp, 1-pole F-frame breakers, but the FD series has a higher interrupting rating. The FD1040 provides 35kAIC at 277VAC, whereas the EHD series is typically rated for 14kAIC at 277VAC.

The breaker we purchased was as advertised. The breaker fit perfectly. We purchased reconditioned breaker and it seems to be working properly, accordingly to the golf course maintenance team that supervises the irrigation system.
Next day shipping came quickly even though the 4th of July was coming.
I wish it came with new installations hardware but that isn’t a deal breaker.
