Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, the FD1060L is a 1-pole, 60A molded case circuit breaker from Eaton's Series C family. This F-Frame device features a unit mount design with included line and load lugs for cable-in/cable-out installations. It installs into compatible Eaton switchboards and standalone enclosures. Rated for 35 kAIC at 277 VAC, it provides dependable long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. This model is replaced by the newer PDG21G0060TFFJ.
What panelboards and enclosures are compatible with the FD1060L?
This F-frame breaker is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and standalone enclosures. It mounts directly to the chassis or panel using a standard unit mount, feed-thru configuration.
What does the L in the FD1060L catalog number indicate?
The L indicates that the breaker includes factory-installed line and load lugs. For this 60A model, the standard lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
What are the torque specifications for the standard lugs on this breaker?
For the standard 14 to 1/0 AWG slotted steel lugs (catalog number 3T100FB), the required torque depends on the wire size. Use 35 lb-in for 14 to 10 AWG, 40 lb-in for 8 AWG, 45 lb-in for 6 to 4 AWG, and 50 lb-in for 3 to 1/0 AWG conductors.
Can the FD1060L be reverse fed?
Yes. Eaton Series C F-frame thermal magnetic circuit breakers do not have line and load restrictions, making them suitable for reverse feed applications. Always verify that no voltage is present before servicing reverse fed equipment.
Is this breaker suitable for DC voltage applications?
Yes, the FD1060L is rated for 125VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC. When used in ungrounded DC systems, specific wiring configurations may be required depending on the system voltage.
Can the trip settings on the FD1060L be adjusted?
No. This breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection, but the trip thresholds cannot be modified in the field.
Is the FD1060L HACR rated?
Yes, all Eaton Series C F-frame circuit breakers are HACR rated, making them suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
What is the modern replacement for the FD1060L?
Eaton is transitioning from the Series C family to the newer Power Defense line. The direct replacement for this 1-pole 60A breaker is the Power Defense PDG21G0060TFFJ.

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.
