Description
Designed for standalone switchgear configurations, this three-pole F-frame breaker includes factory-installed line and load lugs for versatile unit mounting. It integrates seamlessly into Eaton Pow-R-Line C enclosures and motor control centers requiring high-capacity 100kAIC performance at 480V. The current-limiting architecture restricts let-through energy during severe faults. It also supports reverse feed applications and carries an HACR rating for commercial cooling systems.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersWhat is the difference between the FD3225 and the FDC3225L?
The FDC3225L features a higher interrupting rating than the standard FD3225. The FDC series provides up to 100kAIC at 480VAC, whereas the standard FD series is rated for 35kAIC at 480VAC. The L suffix indicates that line and load lugs are factory installed.
What does the L suffix in the FDC3225L catalog number mean?
The L suffix indicates that the breaker comes with factory installed line and load terminals. These standard pressure lugs accept 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
Can the trip unit on the FDC3225L be swapped or adjusted?
No, this breaker features a non-interchangeable trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings. It cannot be adjusted in the field or swapped for a different amperage trip unit.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FDC3225L?
This unit mount breaker is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It requires appropriate F-frame mounting hardware or strap kits depending on the specific enclosure.
How can I manually test the mechanical operation of this breaker?
Eaton Series C F-frame breakers include a push-to-trip button on the front face. Pressing this button mechanically trips the breaker to verify the operating mechanism is functioning correctly before resetting.
Is this breaker suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes, standard Eaton Series C thermal-magnetic breakers like the FDC3225L do not have line and load restrictions and can be reverse fed. Always verify local codes and labeling requirements when reverse feeding.
Does this breaker mount onto DIN rail?
No, the FDC3225L is a unit mount breaker designed to be bolted directly to a backpan or installed using specific panelboard mounting straps. It is not designed for DIN rail installation.
