Product FAQs
8 answersWhat is the difference between the FD3030L, HFD3030L, and FDC3030L?
These breakers share the same physical F-frame footprint and 30A trip curve but have different interrupting ratings. The FD3030L is rated for 35kA at 480V, the HFD3030L is rated for 65kA, and the FDC3030L offers the highest protection in this class at 100kA.
Can the FDC3030L replace older Westinghouse FDC breakers?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse molded case circuit breaker line. The modern Eaton or Cutler-Hammer Series C FDC3030L is a direct drop-in replacement for legacy Westinghouse breakers with the exact same catalog number.
What does the L suffix mean in the FDC3030L catalog number?
The L indicates that the breaker comes factory-equipped with standard line and load side lugs. These terminals are designed to accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
How is this breaker mounted in a panelboard?
The FDC3030L is a unit mount, or feed-thru, breaker. It bolts directly to the chassis or mounting pan rather than plugging onto a busbar, making it suitable for Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Does the FDC3030L include adjustable trip settings?
No. This specific model features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous protection without adjustable dials.
Is this breaker suitable for direct current applications?
Yes, the FDC3030L is rated for up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 22kA. When installing in DC systems, consult Eaton technical documentation to ensure proper pole wiring configurations.
Are accessories like shunt trips or auxiliary switches field-installable on the FDC3030L?
Yes, Eaton Series C F-frame breakers support a variety of internal accessories. They must be installed in the designated accessory pockets located under the front cover, following Eaton guidelines for field installation.
Can I use this breaker as a main disconnect?
Yes, provided the enclosure and system design accommodate a 30A unit mount breaker. It is commonly used as a main or branch device in Series C switchboards and compatible motor control centers.
