Product FAQs
6 answersWhat does the L suffix mean in the FDB3040L catalog number?
The L suffix indicates that the circuit breaker is supplied with factory-installed line and load terminal lugs.
Can the Eaton FDB3040L be used in reverse feed applications?
Yes. Eaton Series C F-Frame circuit breakers, including the FDB3040L, are suitable for reverse feed applications.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FDB3040L breaker?
This breaker is designed for Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It is commonly installed in Pow-R-Line 3A (PRL3A) and Pow-R-Line 4 (PRL4) panelboards using the appropriate F-Frame connector kits.
Is the FDB3040L rated for HVAC and lighting loads?
Yes. All Eaton F-Frame circuit breakers are HACR rated for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. Because it is a 40A thermal-magnetic breaker, it is also rated for High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting applications.
Can this breaker replace older Westinghouse FDB3040L models?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse circuit breaker lines. The current Eaton FDB3040L is a direct replacement for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer breakers sharing the same catalog number.
How is the FDB3040L mounted in a panelboard?
It is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. When installing it in panelboards like the PRL3A, it requires a specific F-Frame connector kit, such as the KPRL3AFD3 for 3-pole configurations, to properly connect to the bus.
