Operating within the proven Series C F-Frame lineup, the Eaton FD2225 provides 225A of thermal-magnetic protection. It safeguards commercial and industrial electrical systems against overloads and short circuits across 2 poles. This breaker mounts into compatible Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It replaces older units, though upgrading to the newer PDG22G0225TFFJ requires a retrofit kit. Features a 35kAIC rating at 480V and reverse feed capability.
What enclosures and panels are compatible with the FD2225?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Can the Eaton FD2225 replace an older Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer FD2225?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse circuit breaker lines. The Series C F-frame FD2225 is a direct, backward-compatible replacement for the older Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer versions with the exact same catalog number.
Is the FD2225 suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Because it uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit without line and load restrictions, this Series C F-frame breaker is reverse feed capable.
Can this breaker be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, the FD2225 carries a DC rating of 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC, making it suitable for specific direct current applications.
What wire sizes are accepted by the standard lugs on this breaker?
The standard lugs accept copper or aluminum (Cu/Al) wire ranging from 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG.
What do the letters in the FD2225 catalog number indicate?
The 'F' designates the Eaton Series C F-Frame size, and the 'D' indicates the specific interrupting capacity tier, which provides 35kAIC at 480VAC. The '2225' indicates it is a 2-pole, 225-amp breaker.
Does this breaker mount onto a DIN rail?
No, the FD2225 features a bolt-on connection type designed for direct mounting to the busbars in compatible Series C enclosures.

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.
