Built for industrial applications, the Eaton HKD3125 is a 3-pole, 125A Series C molded case circuit breaker. It utilizes a robust K-frame architecture to provide consistent long-time and instantaneous protection. This panel-mounted unit installs into Eaton switchboards, motor control centers, and panelboards. It serves as an exact replacement for legacy KD3125 breakers, simplifying facility maintenance. Rated for 600VAC, it delivers 65kAIC at 480V with reliable thermal-magnetic trip technology.

Product FAQs
6 answers
Can I use the Eaton HKD3125 to replace an older Westinghouse HKD3125 breaker?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment line. The Cutler-Hammer or Eaton HKD3125 is a direct, drop-in replacement for the legacy Westinghouse breaker with the exact same catalog number and Series C K-frame dimensions.
What is the difference between the Eaton KD3125 and the HKD3125?
The difference is the short-circuit interrupting rating. The standard KD3125 is rated for 35 kAIC at 480V, while the HKD3125 is the high-interrupting version rated for 65 kAIC at 480V. Both share the same physical K-frame dimensions.
What lug kit is standard for the HKD3125 circuit breaker?
The standard aluminum/copper line and load lug kit for this 125A K-frame breaker is the TA300K. This kit accepts wire sizes from 3 AWG up to 350 kcmil.
Is the HKD3125 suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Eaton Series C K-frame circuit breakers with non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip units are suitable for reverse feed use. Always verify that no voltage is present before servicing reverse-fed equipment.
How do I adjust the trip settings on the HKD3125?
This breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time (thermal) protection and adjustable instantaneous (magnetic) protection. The magnetic trip can be adjusted using the dial on the front of the breaker, typically allowing settings between 5 and 10 times the continuous 125A rating.
What types of enclosures or equipment will accept this K-frame breaker?
The HKD3125 is designed for panel mount installations in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers that are configured to accept K-frame breakers.
