Built for commercial and industrial power distribution, this 70A F-frame breaker provides standard thermal-magnetic protection with reverse feed capabilities. The device installs into Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers using a secure bolt-on connection. Rated for 35kAIC at 480VAC, it offers dependable fault clearing for demanding electrical systems. This exact model is eventually replaced by the Power Defense PDG23G0070TFFJ for newer installations.
Yes, load-side lugs are included standard. They accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
Can this breaker replace older Westinghouse F-frame breakers?
Yes, Eaton Series C breakers are backward compatible and serve as direct, form-fit replacements for legacy Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse Series C F-frame breakers in existing equipment.
Is the FD3070 rated for 100% continuous duty?
No, standard Eaton Series C FD breakers are 80% rated. For continuous loads lasting three hours or more, the load must not exceed 80% of the 70A nameplate rating, which is 56 amps.
Does the FD3070 support internal accessories like shunt trips?
Yes, Eaton Series C F-frame breakers accept field-installable internal accessories including shunt trips, auxiliary contacts, and undervoltage releases. These install directly inside the breaker housing.
What is the difference between the FD3070 and the HFD3070?
The HFD3070 is the high-interrupting version of this breaker. While both share the exact same F-frame physical dimensions, the HFD3070 offers a higher short-circuit rating of 65kAIC at 480VAC compared to the 35kAIC rating of the standard FD3070.
Can this 3-pole breaker be used in DC systems?
Yes, the FD3070 is rated for up to 250VDC applications with a 10kAIC interrupting capacity. Depending on your system configuration, DC applications may require wiring multiple poles in series per Eaton installation guidelines.

175amp molded case circuit breaker
The breaker we purchased was as advertised. The breaker fit perfectly. We purchased reconditioned breaker and it seems to be working properly, accordingly to the golf course maintenance team that supervises the irrigation system.
Next day shipping came quickly even though the 4th of July was coming.
I wish it came with new installations hardware but that isn’t a deal breaker.
