Built for circuit protection, the Eaton PDG23M0225E3RJ molded case circuit breaker is rated 225A and 600VAC with 3 poles. This Power Defense PDG2 breaker has a 2-Frame design, panel mounting and a 65kAIC interrupting rating at 480VAC. Its electronic trip provides long-time, short-time, instantaneous and ground fault functions with adjustable thermal and magnetic settings. Approvals include UL, CSA, IEC, CCC and CE.
How should I use the 225A rating when selecting the Eaton PDG23M0225E3RJ?
The 225A rated current is a selection point for the circuit's load and conductor protection. Evaluate it together with the adjustable trip settings so the breaker protects the conductors while serving the intended load.
What does the 600VAC voltage rating mean for circuit selection?
The 600VAC rating sets the rated AC voltage limit for selection. Check the circuit voltage against this rating, and evaluate interrupting capacity separately at the operating voltage.
How do I apply the 65kAIC interrupting rating at 480VAC?
At 480VAC, the breaker has a 65kAIC interrupting rating. Compare the available fault current at the installation point with that rating; it must not exceed the breaker's interrupting capacity.
What do the three-pole and three-phase ratings mean for installation?
This is a three-pole breaker for a three-phase circuit. Plan the line and load connections around the three phase conductors.
How do the electronic trip's long-time, short-time and instantaneous functions differ?
Long-time protection addresses sustained overcurrent, short-time protection uses a shorter delay for higher overcurrent, and instantaneous protection responds without an intentional delay. These functions help shape the protection response for load operation and fault clearing.
What does the ground-fault trip function add?
The ground-fault function adds a trip response to current flowing through an unintended path to ground. Include this function when planning the circuit's ground-fault protection and coordination.
How do adjustable thermal and magnetic settings help with protection setup?
Adjustable thermal and magnetic settings let you tailor the overload and high-current trip response. Choose settings based on the load, conductor protection requirements and coordination with other protective devices.
How are the line and load conductors connected?
Standard lugs are used on both the line and load sides. Plan conductor routing to the respective lug connections and secure the conductors using the applicable installation procedure.
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 this physical envelope when planning the layout, and allow space for conductor routing and terminal access.
