Designed for commercial power systems, the Eaton FDB3060 is a 60A, 3-pole bolt-on MCCB utilizing thermal-magnetic technology for reliable long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. This F-Frame breaker mounts into Eaton Series C panelboards and motor control centers. It replaces older FD3060 models and is succeeded by the PDG23F0060TFFJ. Rated 14 kAIC at 480VAC, the unit features load side lugs and fixed trip settings. It is HACR rated and supports reverse feed setups.
What is the difference between an FDB3060 and an FD3060 circuit breaker?
Both are 60-amp, 3-pole, Series C F-frame breakers with identical physical dimensions. The difference lies in their short-circuit interrupting capacity. The FDB3060 is rated for 14kAIC at 480VAC, while the FD3060 provides a higher 35kAIC at 480VAC rating. Ensure your system's available fault current falls within the FDB3060 limits before substituting.
Will this breaker fit into legacy Westinghouse panelboards?
Yes. Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and Westinghouse Series C F-frame breakers share the exact same physical footprint and are interchangeable in legacy enclosures, panelboards, and motor control centers designed for standard F-frame components.
Is the trip unit on this circuit breaker adjustable?
No. This model features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit, providing standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection without field adjustability.
Can this breaker be used in DC power distribution systems?
Yes. It is fully rated for use in direct current systems up to 250VDC, providing a 10kAIC interrupting capacity for those specific applications.
What is the modern replacement for the Series C FDB3060?
Eaton is transitioning from the legacy Series C line to the newer Power Defense series. The modern equivalent for a 60-amp, 3-pole F-frame breaker is found in the Power Defense PDG2 lineup. You will need to select the specific PDG2 catalog number that meets or exceeds your required short-circuit interrupting rating.
