What equipment is compatible with the RGH316036E circuit breaker?

This Series G, RG-frame breaker is designed for installation in Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.

What does the "36" in the RGH316036E catalog number signify?

In Eaton Series G nomenclature, the "36" indicates the breaker is equipped with a Digitrip 310 electronic trip unit featuring LSIG functions, which include Long-Time, Short-Time, Instantaneous, and Ground Fault protection.

Is the Eaton RGH316036E suitable for reverse feed applications?

Yes, Eaton RG-frame molded case circuit breakers, including the RGH316036E, are suitable for reverse feed use.

What is the difference between the Eaton RGH316036E and the RGC316036E?

The difference is the short-circuit interrupting capacity. The RGH316036E is rated for 65kA at 480VAC, while the RGC316036E is a higher-interrupting variant rated for 100kA at 480VAC. Both share the same 1600A RG-frame and LSIG trip unit.

How is the ground fault protection adjusted on the RGH316036E?

The integrated Digitrip 310 LSIG trip unit provides front-adjustable dials to set the ground fault pickup and flat response ground fault delay, allowing for precise curve shaping and system coordination.

What type of terminal connections does the RGH316036E use?

The base RG-frame breaker features imperial stud/tapped pad terminals. When supplied complete with line and load side lug terminals, verify that the installed lugs match your specific conductor size and material requirements, as various multi-wire lug kits are available for this frame.

Can the RGH316036E be applied as a 100 percent rated breaker?

The standard RGH316036E is an 80 percent rated circuit breaker. For 100 percent rated applications, a different catalog number with a "C" designation in the suffix is required.

Does the RGH316036E include an Arcflash Reduction Maintenance System?

No, the standard Digitrip 310 trip unit on the RGH316036E does not include a Maintenance Mode. Breakers requiring this arc flash safety feature typically use the Digitrip 310+ with an ALSIG designation, indicated by a different catalog suffix.
