Eaton / Cutler-Hammer PDG23M0070VFFL Molded Case Circuit Breaker

The 70A rated current is the basis for selecting this breaker for circuit loading and conductor protection. Coordinate that rating with the load requirements and applicable conductor-sizing rules.

The 600VAC rating establishes the breaker's AC voltage rating. Select it for an application whose circuit voltage is within that rating, and check the interrupting rating separately.

The breaker has a 25kAIC interrupting rating at 600VAC. Compare that rating with the available fault current at the installation point; the available fault current must not exceed the applicable interrupting rating.

The thermal element provides time-delayed overload protection, while the magnetic element responds to short-circuit current. The LI trip function combines long-time and instantaneous protection, so evaluate both behaviors when coordinating circuit protection.

Both the thermal and magnetic trip settings are fixed. Select this breaker where fixed trip settings suit the circuit's protection and coordination requirements rather than an application requiring field adjustment.

The three-pole configuration provides a pole for each phase conductor in a three-phase circuit. Use the pole count along with the current and voltage ratings when selecting the breaker for the circuit.

The load-side terminal connection uses a lug. Plan conductor preparation and termination around that connection method, with secure conductor seating and proper tightening practices.

The breaker is 4.12 in wide, 6 in high and 3.5 in deep. Use these body dimensions when planning the installation layout, while allowing space for conductor routing and termination work.
