Product FAQs

7 answers
What types of equipment is the Eaton FD1040L compatible with?

This F-frame breaker is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, motor control centers, and switchboards. It is a unit mount, feed-thru breaker and is not compatible with plug-on load centers.

What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the FD1040L?

The included lugs accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG. Both copper and aluminum conductors are supported.

Is the Eaton FD1040L the same as the Cutler-Hammer FD1040L?

Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer, and they continue to manufacture the Series C F-frame breakers under the Eaton brand. The FD1040L catalog number remains identical.

What does the L at the end of the FD1040L catalog number indicate?

The L suffix designates that the circuit breaker comes factory-equipped with line and load terminals (lugs).

Can the FD1040L be used in direct current (DC) applications?

Yes, this breaker is rated for 125VDC applications with an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC, in addition to its standard alternating current (AC) ratings.

Does the FD1040L feature adjustable trip settings?

No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip functions cannot be adjusted in the field.

What safety precautions should be taken before installing the FD1040L?

Always de-energize the panelboard or switchboard before installation. Verify that the power is off using a properly rated voltage tester, and ensure the breaker voltage and interrupting ratings meet or exceed the requirements of the circuit.

    175amp molded case circuit breaker

    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.
