Product FAQs
6 answers
Can I use the Eaton FDC3150 to replace an older Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer FDC3150?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer circuit breaker lines. The FDC3150 maintains the exact same physical footprint, dimensions, and electrical ratings as the legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer models.
Is the FDC3150 suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Eaton Series C F-Frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers, including the FDC3150, are suitable for reverse feed applications because they do not have line and load side restrictions.
What is the difference between the Eaton FD3150 and the FDC3150?
The difference is the interrupting capacity. The FDC3150 is the high-interrupting version, rated at 100kAIC at 480VAC, whereas the standard FD3150 is rated at 35kAIC at 480VAC. Both share the same F-Frame footprint and mounting dimensions.
What enclosures and panelboards are compatible with the FDC3150?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for installation in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers, and standalone F-Frame enclosures.
What field-installable accessories are compatible with the FDC3150?
The FDC3150 accepts standard Eaton Series C F-Frame internal accessories, including shunt trips, undervoltage releases (UVR), auxiliary switches, and alarm switches. These accessories mount internally and should be installed before the breaker is mounted and connected.
What lug kit is used for the FDC3150?
The standard lug kit for this 150A F-Frame breaker is the 3TA225FD, which accepts 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
