Product FAQs
8 answers
What types of panels and enclosures are compatible with the GD3070?
The GD3070 is a unit-mount G-frame breaker designed for Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers, and individual enclosures. It is a cable-in, cable-out breaker and does not plug directly onto a busbar.
Can the GD3070 be used in direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 250 VDC with a 10 kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for specific DC circuits in addition to its standard AC ratings.
Are the trip settings on the GD3070 field-adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Can this breaker be used in reverse feed applications?
Yes, Eaton Series C G-frame circuit breakers, including the GD3070, are suitable for reverse feed installations.
Is the GD3070 HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker carries an HACR rating, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Can the GD3070 replace older Westinghouse G-frame breakers?
Yes, the GD3070 is a direct replacement for older Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer Series C G-frame breakers with matching specifications. Always verify your existing frame type, mounting style, and interrupting ratings before replacing.
Does the GD3070 mount on a standard DIN rail?
Out of the box, the GD3070 is designed for unit mounting. However, it can be adapted for DIN rail installation using an optional Eaton DIN rail adapter accessory.
What conductor materials are compatible with the standard lugs?
The standard line and load terminals on the GD3070 accept 10 AWG to 1/0 AWG wire and are rated for use with both copper and aluminum (Cu/Al) conductors.
