Product FAQs

7 answers
What does the E suffix in the RGH316032E catalog number indicate for installation?

The E suffix specifies that the breaker features imperial tapped line and load conductors with English threading. This is critical for selecting the correct mounting hardware and terminal connections.

Are wire terminal lugs included with this RG-frame breaker?

No, the RGH316032E comes standard with stud or tapped pad connections. Cable terminal lugs and mounting hardware are not included and must be ordered separately based on your specific wire size and conductor material.

Can the RGH316032E be used in reverse feed applications?

Yes, Eaton Series G R-frame circuit breakers are suitable for reverse feed use. This provides flexibility when routing line and load cables within your switchboard or motor control center.

How does the LSI electronic trip unit function on this breaker?

The Digitrip 310 electronic trip unit provides adjustable Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous protection. This allows panel builders to precisely coordinate the breaker trip curve with other protective devices in the electrical system to isolate faults.

Does this circuit breaker provide ground fault protection?

No, the RGH316032E is equipped with an LSI trip unit, which does not include ground fault sensing. Applications requiring equipment ground fault protection will need a breaker equipped with an LSIG trip unit.

What enclosures are compatible with this 1600A breaker?

This unit mount breaker is designed for installation in Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It requires a bolt-on connection directly to the bus structure.

Can this breaker replace older Cutler-Hammer models?

Yes, Eaton Series G breakers are direct replacements for legacy Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse RG-frame breakers with matching specifications. Verify that your existing buswork is configured for a 1600A unit mount footprint.
