Serving as a critical component for commercial power distribution, this 25-amp Series C breaker delivers fixed thermal-magnetic protection. It fits perfectly into Eaton Pow-R-Line C panelboards and compatible switchboards requiring standard F-Frame dimensions. Boasting a 100kAIC rating at 480VAC, the unit ensures exceptional fault-current limitation. Although newer Power Defense models exist, this specific breaker maintains the crucial 35kAIC rating at 600V needed for legacy system expansions.

Product FAQs
7 answers
What equipment is compatible with the FDC3025 circuit breaker?
This F-Frame breaker is designed for installation in Eaton Series C panelboards, motor control centers, and switchboards.
Can the Eaton FDC3025 replace older Westinghouse models?
Yes, Eaton Series C F-Frame breakers are direct replacements for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer FDC3025 breakers. They share the same physical footprint and mounting configuration.
What wire sizes do the standard lugs on the FDC3025 accept?
The standard terminals accept conductor sizes from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG and are rated for both copper and aluminum wire.
What does the FDC designation mean in the Series C family?
The FDC frame represents the highest interrupting capacity within the Eaton Series C F-Frame lineup, offering up to 100kAIC at 480VAC for systems requiring maximum fault current limitation.
Does the FDC3025 require a DIN rail for installation?
No, this is a unit mount, bolt-on circuit breaker designed to be bolted directly to the bus or mounting pan in compatible enclosures, rather than snapping onto a DIN rail.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the FDC3025?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous protection settings cannot be adjusted in the field.
What safety precautions are required before installing the FDC3025?
Ensure all power sources are completely de-energized and locked out before installation. Verify that the system voltage and available fault current do not exceed the maximum ratings of the breaker.
