Description
Built to handle demanding commercial distribution networks, this 40-amp molded case circuit breaker features an HID rating for high-intensity discharge lighting circuits. It bolts into Eaton Series C and Pow-R-Line C panelboards to provide uncompromising overcurrent protection. Delivering a massive 100kA interrupting capacity at 480VAC, the current-limiting device utilizes a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit to isolate faults quickly and maintain system stability.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersCan I use the FDC2040 to replace an FD2040 or HFD2040 breaker?
Yes. The FDC2040 shares the exact physical dimensions and bolt-on footprint as the standard FD2040 and high-interrupting HFD2040. The FDC version simply provides an ultra-high, current-limiting interrupting capacity for systems requiring maximum fault protection.
What wire sizes do the standard lugs on the FDC2040 accept?
The standard lugs on this 40A breaker accommodate copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG.
Is the Eaton FDC2040 suitable for reverse-feed applications?
Yes. This thermal-magnetic F-frame circuit breaker is reverse-feed capable, allowing it to be back-fed in compatible panelboards or enclosures where permitted by local electrical codes.
Can this breaker be used in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes. The FDC2040 is rated for use in DC applications up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 22kAIC at that voltage.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FDC2040?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in Eaton Series C panelboards, Pow-R-Line C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Does the FDC2040 have an adjustable trip setting?
No. This breaker features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings for long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection.
What does the "C" in the FDC frame designation indicate?
In the Eaton Series C F-frame family, the "C" indicates that it is a current-limiting breaker with ultra-high interrupting capacity, offering significantly higher fault protection than standard FD or HFD models.
