Product FAQs
5 answers
Is there a difference between the Eaton KD3150 and the Cutler-Hammer KD3150?
No. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and continues to manufacture the Series C product line. A KD3150 breaker with a modern Eaton label is functionally identical and fully interchangeable with an older Cutler-Hammer branded unit.
What is the difference between the KD3150, HKD3150, and KDC3150 catalog numbers?
These Series C K-frame breakers share the exact same physical dimensions and mounting footprint but feature different short-circuit interrupting capacities. The KD3150 is the standard-interrupting version, while the HKD3150 and KDC3150 provide high and extra-high interrupting ratings for systems with elevated fault current levels.
Are the trip units on this K-frame breaker field-interchangeable?
Yes. The KD3150 comes equipped with an interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit. This design allows qualified electricians to easily swap or upgrade the trip components in the field without needing to replace the entire molded case frame.
Can I install internal accessories like a shunt trip into this breaker?
Yes. The Series C K-frame platform includes dedicated accessory pockets. This allows you to field-install standard internal electrical accessories such as shunt trips, auxiliary switches, and bell alarms.
What type of distribution equipment is this breaker designed for?
This unit-mount circuit breaker is engineered for direct installation into compatible Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
