Providing robust overcurrent defense, the Eaton HFD3150L is a 3-pole Series C F-Frame molded case circuit breaker. It is manufactured for facilities requiring reliable LI trip functions. Unlike panel-mounted variants, this unit mount breaker includes both line and load lugs for cable-in/cable-out configurations. It integrates into Eaton Series C panelboards and substitutes the PDG23M0150TFFJ. It features a 65 kAIC rating at 480VAC, HACR certification, and reverse feed capability.

Product FAQs
8 answers
What does the L suffix mean on the Eaton HFD3150L?
In the Eaton Series C F-frame family, the L suffix indicates that the breaker comes factory equipped with both line and load side terminals. Without the L suffix, standard F-frame breakers include load side terminals only.
Can I use the HFD3150L to replace an older Westinghouse HFD breaker?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse electrical distribution division and continued the Series C line. The Eaton HFD3150L is a direct drop-in replacement for vintage Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer breakers with the same catalog number.
How does the HFD3150L differ from standard FD3150L or FDC3150L breakers?
The primary difference is the short-circuit interrupting capacity. The standard FD3150L is rated for 35 kAIC at 480VAC, the HFD3150L handles 65 kAIC, and the extra-high capacity FDC3150L is rated for 100 kAIC at 480VAC. All three share the exact same F-frame physical dimensions.
Are the thermal and magnetic trips adjustable on the HFD3150L?
No. This specific model uses a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. If your application requires adjustable trip settings, you will need to source an F-frame breaker equipped with a 310+ or 210+ electronic trip unit, such as the FDE or HFDE frame.
What is the maximum frame size and what are the standard replacement lugs for the HFD3150L?
The HFD3150L is built on a 225-amp F-frame. If you need to replace the factory terminals, the standard line and load lug kit for the 150A to 225A range is part number 3TA225FD, which accepts 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
Is the Eaton HFD3150L suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Standard thermal magnetic F-frame circuit breakers like the HFD3150L are suitable for reverse feed use. This allows you to wire incoming power to either the top or bottom terminals based on your panel configuration.
What are the recommended torque specs for the line and load lugs on the HFD3150L?
Always refer to the torque label printed directly on the side of the breaker or the provided installation instructions, as values depend on the exact terminal installed and the wire size used. Proper torque is critical to prevent thermal failure.
Can I use this 3-pole HFD3150L in a single-phase system?
Yes. Three-pole Series C breakers can be applied on single-phase AC circuits by wiring the two outside poles.
