Description
Part of the proven Series C family, this 225-amp F-Frame breaker delivers robust thermal-magnetic protection for commercial and industrial facilities. It integrates seamlessly into Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. Featuring a high interrupting capacity of 65kAIC at 480VAC, the unit-mount configuration comes standard with line and load lugs. While currently active, facilities upgrading to newer platforms often transition to the Power Defense PDG22M0225TFFJ.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersCan I use the HFD2225L to replace a standard FD2225L breaker?
Yes. The HFD2225L shares the same physical F-Frame dimensions as the standard FD2225L but offers a higher interrupting capacity. It is a direct, upgraded replacement for applications requiring up to 65kAIC at 480VAC.
What is the difference between the HFD2225L and the FDC2225L?
Both are 225A, 2-pole Series C F-Frame breakers, but they have different interrupting ratings. The HFD2225L is rated for 65kAIC at 480VAC, while the FDC2225L is a current-limiting breaker rated for 100kAIC at 480VAC.
What does the L suffix indicate on the HFD2225L catalog number?
The L suffix indicates that the breaker is supplied with factory-installed line and load lugs. These standard lugs accept 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the HFD2225L?
No. This breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. If your application requires adjustable trip settings, you will need a breaker with an electronic trip unit, such as a Digitrip model within the Series C family.
Which panelboards are compatible with the HFD2225L?
This F-Frame breaker is designed for use in Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Series C panelboards, Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It mounts directly as a unit-mount (feed-thru) breaker.
Is the HFD2225L suitable for reverse-feed applications?
Yes. Standard Series C thermal-magnetic F-Frame breakers like the HFD2225L are reverse-feed capable, allowing power to be supplied to either the line or load terminals.
