Eaton / Cutler-Hammer PDG23G0150TFFL Eaton/Cutler-Hammer 3 Pole Circuit Breaker

This Power Defense Frame 2 breaker is the modern upgrade and direct drop-in replacement for the legacy Eaton/Cutler-Hammer FD3150 molded case circuit breaker. It maintains the same 150-amp capacity, 3-pole footprint, and 35kAIC rating at 480VAC.

The TFFL designation signifies that this model is equipped with standard wire lugs on the load side only. This configuration is specifically required when the line side of the breaker bolts directly to the bus of a panelboard or switchboard, eliminating the need for line-side lugs.

If your installation requires wiring on both ends rather than a direct bus connection on the line side, you will need to order the TFFJ variant (PDG23G0150TFFJ). The TFFJ version includes standard wire lugs on both the line and load sides for standard feed-through wiring.

Yes. The Power Defense Frame 2 architecture supports a wide range of internal and external accessories. Common field-installable components include auxiliary switches, bell alarms, shunt trips, undervoltage releases (UVR), and padlock attachments.

No. This model features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic (LI) trip unit. Both the 150-amp thermal overload and the magnetic short-circuit pickup thresholds are factory-set and cannot be adjusted by the user.

Yes. The PDG2 frame is fully compatible with older Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, modern Eaton Power Defense enclosures, and compatible switchboards designed to accept bolt-on Frame 2 breakers.

Yes. The PDG prefix stands for Power Defense Global. In addition to UL 489 for North America, it complies with CSA C22.2 No. 5, IEC 60947-2, and CCC standards, making it fully suitable for OEM control panels built for international markets.

While natively designed as a panel-mount and bolt-on circuit breaker for standard enclosures, it can also be configured for DIN rail mounting inside control panels by utilizing a compatible Eaton Power Defense Frame 2 adapter.
