Designed for versatile unit mount applications, the Eaton FDB3100L is a 3-pole, 100A molded case circuit breaker. It features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit for precise long-time and instantaneous protection in commercial systems. Unlike standard bolt-on models, this Series C breaker comes factory-equipped with both line and load lugs. This allows for independent mounting in F-Frame enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers.
What does the L in the FDB3100L catalog number indicate?
The L signifies that the breaker is supplied with factory-installed line and load side lugs. The base FDB3100 catalog number refers to the breaker body without lugs included.
Can I use an FD3100 or HFD3100 to replace an FDB3100L?
Yes. The FD3100 and HFD3100 share the same physical F-frame dimensions and mounting footprint. They can be used as drop-in replacements, offering higher interrupting capacities (35kAIC and 65kAIC at 480VAC, respectively) than the standard 14kAIC of the FDB series.
Is the FDB3100L compatible with standard residential load centers?
No. The FDB3100L is an industrial Series C F-frame molded case circuit breaker. It is designed for bolt-on installation in Eaton panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers, and will not fit in residential BR or CH style load centers.
Can the FDB3100L circuit breaker be reverse fed?
Yes. Eaton Series C F-frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers do not have line and load restrictions and are suitable for reverse feed applications.
Are the trip settings on the FDB3100L adjustable?
No. This breaker is equipped with a non-interchangeable trip unit featuring fixed thermal (overload) and fixed magnetic (short-circuit) settings. It cannot be adjusted in the field.
Does the FDB3100L provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker with long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions only. It does not contain GFCI or AFCI protection circuitry.
