Description

Providing 100kAIC at 480V, the Eaton FDC3030 is a 3-pole, 30A thermal-magnetic circuit breaker from the Series C F-Frame family. It ensures reliable long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection for industrial electrical systems. This breaker installs into Eaton panelboards and serves as an excellent alternative to the PDG23P0030TFFJ, as it retains a superior 35kAIC rating at 600V compared to the newer model's 18kAIC. Includes load side lugs, HACR rating, and reverse feed capability.

Product FAQs

7 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the FDC3030 circuit breaker?

The FDC3030 is an F-Frame breaker designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, including Pow-R-Line C models like the PRL3a and PRL4. Installation in these panelboards requires the appropriate twin-mount connector kits, such as the KPRL3AFD3 for 3-pole configurations in a PRL3a chassis.

What is the difference between the FDC3030, HFD3030, and FD3030?

All three are 30A, 3-pole Series C F-Frame breakers with identical physical dimensions, but they feature different interrupting capacities. The FDC3030 is the highest-rated version at 100kAIC at 480V. The HFD3030 is rated for 65kAIC at 480V, and the FD3030 is rated for 35kAIC at 480V.

Is the Eaton FDC3030 suitable for reverse feed applications?

Yes, as a thermal-magnetic Series C F-Frame circuit breaker, the FDC3030 is suitable for reverse feed (back-feeding) applications. It does not have dedicated line and load markings restricting the power flow direction.

Is the FDC3030 HACR rated for HVAC applications?

Yes, all Eaton Series C F-Frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers, including the FDC3030, are HACR rated. This makes them suitable for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits.

What are the standard lugs included with the FDC3030, and what wire sizes do they accept?

The FDC3030 typically uses the 3T100FB standard pressure lug kit. These lugs accept one 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum (Cu/Al) wire per phase.

Can the FDC3030 be mounted on a standard DIN rail?

No, the FDC3030 is a unit-mount (bolt-on) molded case circuit breaker designed to be bolted directly to a panelboard chassis, switchboard, or mounting plate. It is not natively designed for DIN rail mounting.

Can the FDC3030 be used in DC applications?

Yes, the FDC3030 is rated for up to 250 VDC with an interrupting capacity of 22kA. When wiring for DC applications, multiple poles may need to be wired in series depending on the specific grounding and voltage requirements of the system.
