Product FAQs

7 answers
What enclosures and panels are compatible with the K3100?

This K-Frame breaker is designed for bolt-on installation in Eaton Series C panelboards, motor control centers, and switchboards. It is also fully compatible with legacy Westinghouse panelboards.

Can the KD3100 be used as a replacement for the K3100?

Yes, the KD3100 is the direct, higher-interrupting replacement for the K3100. While the K3100 is rated for 25kA at 240VAC, the KD3100 provides 65kA at 240VAC. Both share the same physical dimensions and mounting requirements.

What wire sizes do the standard lugs on this breaker accept?

The standard lugs accept aluminum or copper conductors ranging from 3 AWG to 350 kcmil.

Can the K3100 be reverse fed?

Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is suitable for reverse feed applications.

What does the LI trip function indicate on this breaker?

The LI designation means the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time overload protection and Instantaneous short-circuit protection. Both the thermal and magnetic settings are fixed on the K3100.

Can I adjust the trip settings on the K3100?

No, the K3100 features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. If you require adjustable settings, you will need a different breaker model within the Series C family.

Is the K3100 suitable for HVAC equipment?

Yes, Series C K-Frame breakers are HACR rated, meaning they are approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
