Product FAQs

7 answers
What do the "TFF" and "L" suffixes in PDG23M0020TFFL designate?

The "TFF" indicates the breaker is equipped with a thermal-magnetic trip unit featuring fixed thermal and fixed magnetic protection settings. The "L" indicates that standard line and load lugs are factory-installed on the breaker.

Can this Power Defense Frame 2 breaker replace a legacy Series C F-Frame breaker?

Yes, the Eaton Power Defense Frame 2 (PDG2) series is designed to share the exact physical footprint, mounting dimensions, and panelboard spacing as legacy Series C F-Frame breakers, such as the FD, HFD, and FDC series.

Are internal accessories like auxiliary switches and shunt trips field-installable on this model?

Yes, Power Defense Frame 2 circuit breakers feature modular accessory pockets. This allows electricians to quickly install common internal accessories in the field without needing to break the factory seal on the trip unit.

What does the "M" performance tier indicate in the catalog number?

The "M" designates this as a medium performance breaker within the Power Defense globally rated (PDG) lineup, which corresponds to its 65kAIC interrupting rating at 480VAC.

Can the PDG23M0020TFFL be reverse-fed in a panelboard or enclosure?

Yes, standard Power Defense breakers with thermal-magnetic trip units do not have line and load wiring restrictions. They are suitable for reverse-feed applications, unlike models equipped with certain electronic trip units.

Are the factory-installed terminals rated for both aluminum and copper conductors?

Yes, the standard line and load lugs included with this breaker are dual-rated for both aluminum and copper wire, accepting conductor sizes from 14 AWG up to 4 AWG.

Can this thermal-magnetic breaker be used in DC voltage applications?

Yes, this specific thermal-magnetic model carries a DC interrupting rating of 22kAIC at 250VDC. Frame 2 Power Defense breakers with electronic trip units are typically restricted to AC applications only, making this fixed thermal-magnetic model the correct choice for DC circuits.
