Product FAQs
7 answersHow should I use the 20A rating when selecting the Eaton PDG23M0020VFFL?
The 20A rated current is the starting point for load and conductor protection selection. Choose it where the circuit's load calculation and conductor protection requirements call for a 20A breaker.
How does the 600VAC voltage rating guide circuit selection?
The 600VAC rating establishes the breaker's AC voltage rating. Check the circuit voltage against this rating when selecting the breaker.
How do I evaluate the 25kAIC interrupting rating?
The interrupting rating is 25kAIC at 600VAC. For a 600VAC installation, compare the available fault current at the installation point with this rating; it must not exceed the breaker's interrupting rating.
Can I adjust the overload or instantaneous trip settings?
The thermal and magnetic trip settings are fixed. The thermal element provides long-time overload protection, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous response to short-circuit current. Select it when fixed protection settings meet the circuit's requirements.
What does the three-pole configuration mean for circuit selection?
This is a three-pole breaker for three-phase circuits. Its poles operate together to disconnect the three phase conductors, making pole count and circuit phase key selection checks.
What dimensions should I use when planning the installation layout?
The breaker measures 6 in high, 4.12 in wide and 3.5 in deep. Use these dimensions to plan its physical footprint and the surrounding space needed for conductor routing and termination access.
How are outgoing conductors connected to the breaker?
The load side uses standard lug terminals. Plan the outgoing conductor terminations around lug connections, where the conductors are mechanically secured at the breaker's load terminals.
