Product FAQs
5 answers
What applications is the Eaton FG3225 circuit breaker designed for?
The FG3225 is engineered for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers, and diesel engine generators. Its magnetic pickup range is specifically calibrated to provide low-level short-circuit protection for generator circuits.
Are line and load lugs included with the FG3225 breaker?
Yes, this feed-thru circuit breaker includes factory-installed line and load terminal lugs. The lugs are sized to accept 4 AWG to 4/0 AWG conductors.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the FG3225?
No, the FG3225 features a thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous protection without adjustable dials.
Is the Eaton FG3225 interchangeable with Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer versions?
Yes. Eaton manufactures the Series C FG frame breakers under the Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and legacy Westinghouse brand names. An FG3225 from any of these brands is the exact same physical and electrical component.
How is the FG3225 mounted in a panel or enclosure?
The FG3225 is a unit mount breaker, meaning it bolts directly to the chassis or backpan of compatible switchboards, motor control centers, or generator enclosures rather than snapping onto a busbar.
