Product FAQs
7 answers
Can the Eaton JD3150 replace older Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer JD3150 breakers?
Yes. Eaton acquired both the Westinghouse electrical distribution business and Cutler-Hammer. The Series C JD3150 is a direct, identical replacement for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer JD3150 and JDB3150 circuit breakers.
Is the JD3150 circuit breaker suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Series C J-Frame breakers with standard thermal-magnetic trip units, including the JD3150, are rated for reverse feed use.
Is the JD3150 rated for 100 percent continuous load?
No. Standard Eaton JD-Frame circuit breakers are 80 percent rated for continuous loads. If your application requires a 100 percent continuous rating, you must specify a JDC-Frame circuit breaker.
What panels and enclosures are compatible with the JD3150?
The JD3150 is a bolt-on breaker designed for Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and legacy Westinghouse Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers that are configured to accept J-Frame breakers.
How is the trip unit adjusted on the JD3150?
The JD3150 features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element and an adjustable instantaneous magnetic dial. The magnetic trip can be adjusted between 500 percent and 1000 percent of the breaker rating, which corresponds to an instantaneous trip range of 750A to 1500A.
Can I install internal accessories like a shunt trip on the JD3150?
Yes. The JD3150 accommodates field-installed internal accessories, including shunt trips, auxiliary switches, alarm switches, and undervoltage releases. These modular accessories install directly under the main breaker cover.
What does the HACR rating on the JD3150 mean?
The JD3150 is HACR rated, certifying it for use in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications. It is designed to safely handle the short, high inrush currents generated by HVAC compressors without nuisance tripping.
