Product FAQs

5 answers
What do the TFF and L suffixes stand for in the PDG23G0040TFFL part number?

The TFF suffix designates a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings. The L suffix signifies that the breaker is equipped with standard lugs on the load side only, as the line side is designed to bolt directly to the panel bus.

Are Power Defense Frame 2 breakers compatible with older Cutler-Hammer Series C installations?

Yes. Eaton designed the Power Defense Frame 2 series to share the exact same physical footprint as legacy Series C F-Frame circuit breakers. They serve as direct drop-in replacements for older Pow-R-Line panelboards and enclosures.

How does the bolt-on connection work for this specific Eaton breaker?

The PDG23G0040TFFL is configured for direct panelboard mounting. It includes a standard lug terminal on the load side for wire connections, while the line side lacks a lug and bolts directly to the internal busbars of Eaton panelboards and switchboards.

Is the trip unit on the PDG23G0040TFFL field adjustable for selective coordination?

No. This model features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. If your power distribution system requires field-adjustable coordination, you will need to select a breaker with an adjustable thermal-magnetic or electronic trip unit.

Does this breaker provide Ground Fault or Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) protection?

No. The standard thermal-magnetic trip unit on this breaker only provides basic long-time and instantaneous (LI) overcurrent protection. Advanced safety features like ground fault protection and ZSI require upgrading to a Power Defense model equipped with an electronic PXR trip unit.
