Product FAQs

4 answers
What equipment is compatible with the EHD3045?

This F-frame breaker is designed for Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It bolts directly to the bus and is not interchangeable with newer Series G or Power Defense frames without specialized hardware.

What are the higher interrupting capacity alternatives to the EHD3045?

If your system requires a higher short-circuit rating, the FD3045 provides 35kAIC at 480VAC, and the HFD3045 provides 65kAIC at 480VAC. Both share the exact same physical F-frame dimensions and mounting as the EHD3045.

Are the trip settings on the EHD3045 adjustable?

No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory calibrated for 45 amps and cannot be adjusted in the field.

What wire sizes do the standard EHD3045 lugs accept?

The factory-installed lugs accommodate 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG conductors. When installing, ensure the conductors are torqued to the specifications printed directly on the breaker label to prevent thermal issues.

    Why go anywhere else

    I needed a very specific solution to an overcurrent protection requirement and the sales rep got me exactly what I needed at a great price.
