Product FAQs

6 answers
Is the HKD3175 interchangeable with older Westinghouse HKD breakers?

Yes. Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse lines. The current Series C HKD3175 is a direct replacement for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer breakers with the exact same catalog number.

What is the difference between the KD3175 and the HKD3175?

The HKD3175 is the high-interrupting version of the standard KD frame. Both share the same physical dimensions and mounting footprint, but the HKD provides a higher interrupting rating of 65kA at 480VAC compared to the standard 35kA rating of the KD.

Are lugs included with the HKD3175?

Yes, this breaker ships complete with factory-installed line and load side lug terminals. The standard lugs accept wire sizes ranging from 3 AWG to 350 kcmil.

How is the trip unit configured on this breaker?

It uses a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal element provides fixed long-time overload protection at 175 amps, while the magnetic instantaneous pickup for short-circuit protection is adjustable.

Can the HKD3175 be used in DC circuits?

Yes, this breaker is rated for direct current applications up to 250VDC, providing a 22kA interrupting capacity.

What types of enclosures accept this K-Frame breaker?

This panel-mount breaker is designed for installation in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
