Product FAQs

6 answers
Does the Power Defense PDG33F0250TFAJ replace older Eaton Series G breakers?

Yes. The Power Defense Frame 3 series serves as a functional upgrade for discontinued Series G JG-frame breakers. Because the modern Power Defense footprint is larger, updated mounting hardware is required when retrofitting into existing equipment.

What wire sizes are accepted by the standard lugs on the PDG33F0250TFAJ?

The standard line and load lugs on this breaker accept aluminum or copper wire ranging from 250 to 500 kcmil.

What does the LI trip function code indicate on this breaker?

The LI designation means this thermal magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time and Instantaneous protection. The thermal element for overload protection is fixed, while the magnetic element for short-circuit protection is adjustable to suit your specific application.

What equipment is this breaker designed to be installed in?

This panel mount breaker is designed for use within Eaton Power Defense Frame 3 panelboards and compatible Eaton enclosures.

Can the PDG33F0250TFAJ be reverse fed?

Yes. Eaton Power Defense Frame 3 molded case circuit breakers can be reverse fed as long as they are ordered as a complete breaker assembly. If the frame and trip unit are ordered separately, reverse feeding is not supported.

Is this breaker suitable for DC applications?

Yes. In addition to its standard AC ratings, this thermal magnetic breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10 kAIC.
