Designed for cable-in/cable-out applications, the Eaton HFD3020L is a 3-pole, 20A molded case circuit breaker. It offers robust thermal-magnetic protection for industrial facilities. Featuring a unit-mount configuration with included line and load lugs, this F-frame breaker fits Eaton Series C switchboards and motor control centers. It boasts a high interrupting capacity of 65 kAIC at 480VAC and 100 kAIC at 240VAC. The device is HACR and HID rated, with a trip-free mechanism.
The L suffix indicates that the circuit breaker comes factory-equipped with both line and load side lug terminals. Standard Eaton F-frame breakers without this suffix typically include load side terminals only.
What is the difference between the HFD3020L and the FD3020L?
The HFD3020L is the high-interrupting version of the standard FD3020L. They share the same F-frame physical dimensions and mounting footprint, but the HFD provides a higher interrupting capacity of 65kA at 480VAC compared to the standard FD rating.
What types of equipment is the HFD3020L compatible with?
This unit-mount circuit breaker is designed for installation in Eaton Series C panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It is ideal for cable-in and cable-out configurations.
Can I use aluminum conductors with the factory lugs?
Yes, the included standard pressure terminals are rated for both copper and aluminum (Cu/Al) conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG.
Is the HFD3020L suitable for HVAC and lighting applications?
Yes. The breaker is HACR rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. It is also HID rated for high-intensity discharge lighting circuits.
Can this 3-pole breaker be wired for 2-pole or single-phase applications?
Yes. When using a 3-pole F-frame breaker for 2-pole applications, it is standard practice to wire the two outside poles and leave the center pole unconnected.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the HFD3020L?
No. This breaker features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings.
What safety and testing standards does this Eaton Series C breaker meet?
It is UL 489 Listed and CSA certified for use in commercial and industrial power distribution systems, providing proven long-time and instantaneous (LI) overcurrent protection.
