Product FAQs
8 answersCan I install the PDG23F0040TFFJ in older Eaton panelboards?
This Power Defense Frame 2 breaker is designed for modern Eaton Power Defense panelboards, switchboards, and enclosures. It also shares the same physical footprint as legacy Series C F-Frame breakers, allowing it to fit in many older panels that accept F-Frame units.
Can the PDG23F0040TFFJ replace older Series C circuit breakers?
Yes, the Power Defense Frame 2 series serves as a direct replacement for legacy Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Series C F-Frame breakers, such as the FD3040, fitting the exact same footprint.
Are the factory-installed lugs on the PDG23F0040TFFJ rated for aluminum wire?
Yes, the standard line and load lugs included with this breaker are dual-rated for both aluminum and copper conductors, accepting wire sizes from 14 AWG to 4 AWG.
What does the F in the PDG23F0040TFFJ catalog number indicate?
In the Eaton Power Defense nomenclature, the F designates the interrupting capacity. For this Frame 2 breaker, it indicates a 25kAIC rating at 480VAC.
Does this thermal magnetic breaker provide ground fault protection?
No, the PDG23F0040TFFJ features a standard LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) trip unit. It does not include ground fault protection, which would require an LSIG or specialized electronic trip unit.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on the PDG23F0040TFFJ?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit, meaning the trip thresholds cannot be adjusted in the field.
Is this breaker rated for use in DC circuits?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for 250VDC applications with an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC.
Does this breaker require a separate mounting hardware kit for panel installation?
While the breaker itself is a standard panel mount design, installing it into Eaton Pow-R-Line or Power Defense panelboards typically requires specific connector kits or strap kits depending on the panel chassis.
