Designed for standalone industrial applications, this 15A, 3-pole unit mount breaker delivers robust thermal-magnetic protection. It utilizes a non-interchangeable trip unit to safeguard commercial systems. The FDB3015L includes factory-installed line and load lugs, ready to mount into Eaton F-Frame enclosures and switchboards. Rated for 14kAIC at 480VAC, this device is HACR and HID rated for specialized loads. Eaton is replacing this Series C frame with the PDG23F0015TFFJ.
What is the difference between the Eaton FDB3015 and the FDB3015L?
The L suffix indicates that the FDB3015L comes factory-equipped with both line and load side lugs. The standard FDB3015 typically includes load side lugs only, requiring separate hardware for the line side.
Are there higher interrupting capacity versions of the FDB3015L available?
Yes. If your system requires a higher fault current rating than 14kAIC at 480VAC, you can upgrade to the FD3015L (35kAIC), HFD3015L (65kAIC), or FDC3015L (100kAIC). All of these share the same F-Frame physical footprint and mounting dimensions.
Is the FDB3015L suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Eaton Series C F-Frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers, including the FDB3015L, do not have line and load restrictions and are fully rated for reverse feed installations.
What types of panels and enclosures accept the FDB3015L breaker?
The FDB3015L is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line switchboards, motor control centers, and standard Eaton F-Frame enclosures. It utilizes a standard unit mount, feed-thru configuration.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide on this breaker?
The LI designation stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. This is a standard fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit, where the thermal element protects against sustained overloads (Long-Time) and the magnetic element protects against sudden short circuits (Instantaneous).
Can the FDB3015L be installed in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, it is rated for 250VDC at 10kAIC. However, DC applications typically require wiring two or three poles in series to safely interrupt the fault current, depending on whether the system is grounded or ungrounded. Always consult Eaton F-Frame DC wiring guidelines for proper pole configuration.
