Product FAQs
8 answers
Which panelboards accept the HFD1100 circuit breaker?
The HFD1100 is designed for installation in Eaton Series C panelboards and switchboards configured for F-frame breakers.
What is the difference between the Eaton FD1100 and HFD1100?
Both are 100A, 1-pole Series C F-frame breakers, but the HFD1100 is the high-interrupting version. It provides a 65kAIC rating at 277VAC, which is higher than the standard FD1100 interrupting capacity.
Can the HFD1100 be reverse fed?
Yes, as a thermal-magnetic Series C F-frame breaker without line and load restrictions, the HFD1100 is suitable for reverse feed applications.
Is the HFD1100 rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC applications, providing a 10kAIC interrupting rating at 125VDC.
Will this breaker replace older Westinghouse or Cutler-Hammer HFD1100 models?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse molded case circuit breaker lines. The Eaton HFD1100 is a direct replacement for older Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer breakers sharing the same catalog number.
What protection does the LI trip function provide on this breaker?
The LI designation means the thermal-magnetic trip unit includes Long-Time (thermal) protection for sustained overloads and Instantaneous (magnetic) protection for immediate short-circuit clearing.
What is the modern Power Defense equivalent for the HFD1100?
The HFD1100 crosses over to the Eaton Power Defense PDG21M0100TFFJ for modern panel upgrades, maintaining the same 100A rating and F-frame footprint.
Is the HFD1100 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, the HFD1100 is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
