Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, the Eaton FDB3090 is a robust Series C molded case circuit breaker. It delivers dependable overcurrent protection for distribution systems and motor control centers. This F-frame unit features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip, ensuring consistent performance. Designed for unit mount installation, it integrates into compatible Eaton enclosures and replaces legacy FD3090 models. Includes load side lugs for 14-1/0 AWG wire.
It is designed for Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It commonly installs in Pow-R-Line 3A (PRL3A) and Pow-R-Line 4 (PRL4) panelboards using the appropriate connector kits.
