Product FAQs

6 answers
What do the "M" and "TFFJ" designations mean in the PDG13M0045TFFJ part number?

The "M" indicates the breaker's interrupting rating tier, providing 65kAIC at 480VAC. The "TFF" suffix specifies a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings. The "J" confirms that standard line and load box lugs are included.

Does this breaker have adjustable trip settings?

No, the PDG13M0045TFFJ features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time (overload) and instantaneous (short-circuit) trip settings are factory-fixed and cannot be adjusted in the field.

How is the 250VDC rating achieved on this 3-pole breaker?

For DC applications, the 250VDC rating is achieved by wiring two of the breaker's poles in series. This is a standard configuration requirement for Eaton Power Defense thermal-magnetic breakers used in DC circuits.

Can I use this to replace an older Cutler-Hammer EG-frame breaker?

Yes, the Eaton Power Defense Frame 1 (PDG1) series is the direct modern replacement for legacy Cutler-Hammer Series G EG-frame molded case circuit breakers.

What panelboards are designed to accept this Power Defense breaker?

The PDG13M0045TFFJ is engineered for installation in Eaton Power Defense panelboards, as well as Eaton Pow-R-Line and Pow-R-Line Xpert switchboards and panelboards.

What does the "G" in the PDG1 series prefix stand for?

The "G" indicates that the breaker is globally rated. It is certified to meet multiple international standards, including UL, CSA, and IEC, making it suitable for worldwide application.
