What panelboards and enclosures are compatible with the HFD3080L?
This F-Frame breaker is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
What is the difference between the HFD3080 and the HFD3080L?
The "L" suffix in the HFD3080L catalog number indicates that the breaker comes with factory-installed line and load lugs. The HFD3080 is the exact same breaker body but may require lugs to be sourced separately.
Can the HFD3080L replace an FD3080L or FDC3080L?
Yes, all three are Series C F-Frame breakers with identical physical dimensions. The HFD3080L provides a 65kAIC interrupting rating at 480VAC, making it a suitable upgrade for the standard 35kAIC FD3080L, or a replacement for the 100kAIC FDC3080L if the system fault current requirements allow for a 65kAIC rating.
What is the modern Power Defense equivalent for the HFD3080L?
The HFD3080L crosses over to the newer Eaton Power Defense series under catalog number PDG23M0080TFFJ.
Is the HFD3080L suitable for direct current applications?
Yes, this thermal magnetic breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 22kAIC, making it suitable for various DC systems.
What does the "H" in the HFD3080L part number signify?
The "H" designates this as a High-Interrupting capacity breaker within the Series C F-Frame family, providing 65kAIC at 480VAC compared to the standard 35kAIC of the base FD series.
Does the HFD3080L mount on a DIN rail?
No, this is a unit mount, feed-thru circuit breaker designed to be bolted directly to the chassis or baseplate of compatible Eaton enclosures.
