Product FAQs
8 answers
Can the HKD3150 replace a legacy Westinghouse HKD3150 breaker?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment division. A modern Eaton or Cutler-Hammer HKD3150 is a direct replacement for a legacy Westinghouse breaker with the exact same catalog number.
Are Eaton and Cutler-Hammer HKD3150 breakers the same?
Yes. Eaton manufactures the Series C line and often uses the Cutler-Hammer brand name. Breakers labeled under either name with the HKD3150 catalog number are identical and interchangeable.
What equipment is the HKD3150 compatible with?
This Series C K-frame breaker is designed for installation in Eaton and Cutler-Hammer panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Can the HKD3150 be installed in an F-frame or J-frame panel space?
No. The HKD3150 is a K-frame circuit breaker. Even though 150A breakers exist in smaller frame sizes, this specific model requires a K-frame mounting space and hardware.
How does the HKD3150 differ from a standard KD3150 breaker?
The HKD3150 is the high-interrupting capacity version of the standard KD frame. It provides a 65kA interrupting rating at 480V, compared to the standard 35kA rating of a KD3150.
What protection is provided by the LI trip function?
The LI designation means the thermal-magnetic trip unit includes Long-Time and Instantaneous protection. The fixed thermal element protects against sustained overloads, while the adjustable magnetic element responds immediately to short circuits.
Does the HKD3150 provide ground fault protection?
No. This breaker features a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) functions. It does not include integral ground fault or equipment protection features.
What wire sizes do the standard lugs on this breaker accept?
The standard lug terminals accommodate wire sizes ranging from 3 AWG to 350 kcmil.
