Product FAQs
7 answers
What enclosures and equipment are compatible with the LD3450 circuit breaker?
The LD3450 is designed for installation in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It mounts as a unit-mount, feed-thru breaker.
Can the Eaton LD3450 replace older Westinghouse LD breakers?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment business, so the Eaton Series C LD3450 is a direct replacement for legacy Westinghouse LD3450 breakers. They share the exact same physical dimensions and L-Frame footprint.
What wire sizes are accepted by the standard lugs on the LD3450?
The included lugs accept two conductors per phase, ranging from 3/0 AWG to 350 kcmil. They are rated for both aluminum and copper wire (Al/Cu).
Is the LD3450 rated for DC voltage applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 22kAIC, making it suitable for specific direct current systems in addition to its standard AC ratings.
Does the LD3450 feature an adjustable trip unit?
No, the LD3450 features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection functions without user adjustability.
What is the difference between the LD3450 and the HLD3450?
The LD3450 is the standard interrupting capacity version, rated at 35kAIC at 480VAC. The HLD3450 is the high interrupting capacity version, rated at 65kAIC at 480VAC. Both share the same 450A L-Frame footprint and physical dimensions.
Does the LD3450 provide ground fault protection?
No, the LD3450 is equipped with a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit that provides long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. It does not include built-in ground fault (LSIG) or short-time (LSI) protection functions.
