Product FAQs

7 answers
Which Eaton panelboards are compatible with the FD1070 circuit breaker?

The FD1070 is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, including Pow-R-Line 3a (PRL3a) and Pow-R-Line 4 (PRL4), as well as compatible switchboards and motor control centers. Installation in panelboards requires the appropriate F-frame connector kits.

Can the Eaton FD1070 breaker be reverse fed?

Yes, Eaton Series C F-frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers, including the FD1070, are suitable for reverse feed applications.

Is the FD1070 HACR rated for HVAC applications?

Yes, all Eaton Series C F-frame molded case circuit breakers are HACR rated, making them suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

Is the FD1070 rated for High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting applications?

No, Eaton Series C F-frame breakers are only HID rated up to 50 amps. Since the FD1070 is a 70-amp breaker, it does not carry an HID rating.

What is the direct replacement for the Eaton FD1070?

According to Eaton's modernization path, the Power Defense series is the newer equivalent. Specifically, the PDG21G0070TFFJ is the direct replacement for the FD1070.

What is the difference between the FD1070 and the HFD1070?

The difference is the interrupting rating. The FD1070 has a standard interrupting rating of 35 kAIC at 277 VAC, while the HFD1070 is a high-interrupting breaker rated for 65 kAIC at 277 VAC. Both share the same physical F-frame footprint.

Does the FD1070 come with panelboard mounting hardware?

The FD1070 is a bolt-on breaker. When installing it into an Eaton panelboard, you will need the appropriate F-frame connector kit (such as KPRL3AFD for PRL3a panels), which contains the necessary mounting hardware and bus connections.

    175amp molded case circuit breaker

    The breaker we purchased was as advertised. The breaker fit perfectly. We purchased reconditioned breaker and it seems to be working properly, accordingly to the golf course maintenance team that supervises the irrigation system.

    Next day shipping came quickly even though the 4th of July was coming.

    I wish it came with new installations hardware but that isn’t a deal breaker.
