Product FAQs
6 answersCan I use the FDC2225L to replace an older Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer breaker?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse electrical distribution lines. The Series C FDC2225L is a direct drop-in replacement for older Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer breakers that share the same catalog number.
Does the FDC2225L come with lugs, and what wire sizes do they accept?
Yes. The "L" suffix in the catalog number indicates that the breaker is factory-equipped with both line and load terminals. These standard lugs accept 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
What types of enclosures and panels accept the FDC2225L?
This F-frame breaker is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line 2a and 3a panelboards, Series C switchboards, and motor control centers. It is a unit-mount breaker and does not mount on a standard DIN rail.
Can the FDC2225L be used in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes. This thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for up to 250VDC, making it suitable for DC control panels, battery systems, and other direct current distribution applications.
What does the "C" in the FDC series designation indicate?
In the Eaton Series C F-frame family, the "C" indicates a high interrupting capacity. The FDC2225L is rated for 100kAIC at 480VAC and 200kAIC at 240VAC, which provides higher fault protection than standard FD or HFD breakers.
How does the trip mechanism in the FDC2225L operate?
It uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings. The thermal element provides delayed tripping for overloads, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous tripping for short circuits.
