Product FAQs
6 answersWhich Eaton panelboards accept the PDG33M0500TFAJ circuit breaker?
This Frame 3 molded case circuit breaker is compatible with Eaton Power Defense Frame 3 Panelboards and Eaton Pow-R-Line Panelboards.
What wire sizes and materials are supported by the standard lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed feed-thru lugs accept two conductors per phase, accommodating wire sizes from 2 AWG to 500 kcmil in either aluminum or copper (Al/Cu).
How does the trip unit operate on the PDG33M0500TFAJ?
This breaker utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for instantaneous short-circuit protection. This allows installers to coordinate the short-circuit response with other devices in the system.
Is this Power Defense breaker suitable for DC applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for use in DC systems with an interrupting capacity of 22kAIC at 250VDC.
