Product FAQs
5 answers
What is the difference between Eaton KD, HKD, and KDC circuit breakers?
The primary difference is their short-circuit interrupting ratings. KD is the standard capacity model (65kA at 240VAC, 35kA at 480VAC). The HKD provides high interrupting capacity (100kA at 240VAC, 65kA at 480VAC), and the KDC offers ultra-high interrupting capacity (200kA at 240VAC, 100kA at 480VAC).
Is the HKD3100 suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Eaton Series C K-frame circuit breakers equipped with thermal magnetic trip units are suitable for reverse feed use.
What is the magnetic trip adjustment range for this 100A breaker?
The instantaneous magnetic trip is adjustable from 5 to 10 times the continuous current rating. For this 100A breaker, that provides an adjustable magnetic trip range of 500A to 1000A.
What are the standard lugs included with the HKD3100?
This breaker comes factory installed with TA300K aluminum line and load lugs, which are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors.
What internal accessories are compatible with the Series C K-frame?
K-frame circuit breakers can accept field installable internal accessories, including shunt trips, auxiliary switches, bell alarm switches, and undervoltage release modules. These install inside the accessory cavities under the front cover.
