Product FAQs
5 answersWhat does the "L" suffix in the HFDE316032L catalog number indicate?
The "L" suffix signifies that this breaker comes factory-equipped with both line and load terminal lugs. These standard lugs accept 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
What trip functions are included in the HFDE316032L electronic trip unit?

What is the difference between the FDE and HFDE frame types?
The "H" in HFDE designates a high interrupting capacity version of the standard FDE frame. While a standard FDE breaker is rated for 35 kAIC at 480V, the HFDE316032L provides a higher 65 kAIC rating at 480V.
