Which panelboards are compatible with the FDC2030 breaker?
This Series C F-Frame breaker is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, Pow-R-Line C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Can the Eaton FDC2030 replace older Cutler-Hammer or Westinghouse versions?

What makes the FDC series different from standard FD or FDB breakers?
The FDC designation indicates the ultra-high interrupting capacity version of the Series C F-Frame family. It provides up to 200kAIC at 240V and 100kAIC at 480V, which is significantly higher than standard FDB, FD, or HFD breakers.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on this breaker?
The standard load terminals accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG. The lugs are rated for use with both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors.

It features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit. This provides fixed thermal (Long-Time) protection against overloads and fixed magnetic (Instantaneous) protection against short circuits.
Is this breaker rated for direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, the FDC2030 carries a DC rating of 250 VDC with an interrupting capacity of 22kAIC, making it suitable for specific industrial DC control circuits.
