Product FAQs

8 answers
What enclosures are compatible with the FD3225 breaker?

This F-frame breaker is designed to install directly into Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.

What is the modern Power Defense replacement for the FD3225?

The Eaton Power Defense PDG23G0225TFFL replaces this breaker. If you are upgrading an existing Series C enclosure, a retrofit kit will be required to mount the newer Power Defense frame.

Is there a difference between the Cutler-Hammer and Eaton versions of this breaker?

No. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer, and their F-frame breakers share the exact same engineering. This unit is completely interchangeable whether the label says Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, or Westinghouse.

Can this breaker be installed in DC electrical systems?

Yes, it is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, providing a 10kA interrupting capacity for those systems.

Can the FD3225 be reverse fed?

Yes, this breaker supports reverse feeding. The fixed thermal magnetic design operates safely regardless of which terminals are used for line or load connections.

Are the thermal and magnetic trip points adjustable?

No. This breaker uses fixed thermal and fixed magnetic elements, providing factory-set long-time and instantaneous trip functions.

Are the standard terminal lugs rated for aluminum conductors?

Yes, the load-side lugs accept both copper and aluminum (Cu/Al) wire ranging from 4 AWG up to 4/0 AWG.

Is this circuit breaker HACR rated?

Yes, it carries an HACR rating, meaning it is legally certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

    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.
