Built to maintain existing power distribution networks, this 70A, 3-pole breaker provides essential long-time and instantaneous trip functions for heavy-duty commercial environments. The bolt-on design ensures a seamless fit into classic Sylvania, Challenger, and Westinghouse enclosures. For facilities transitioning to newer hardware, this model crosses over to the Eaton EHD3070 substitute. Capable of handling 14 kAIC at 480VAC, the unit is HACR rated and comes equipped with load side lugs.
Which panelboards accept the SEH3C070 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is compatible with legacy Sylvania, Challenger, and Westinghouse panelboards. It also fits modern Eaton F-Frame panelboards.
What is the modern Eaton equivalent for the SEH3C070?
The Eaton EHD3070 is a direct modern substitute. Because Eaton acquired the F-Frame product line, the EHD3070 shares the exact same physical dimensions and bolt-on mounting configuration as the legacy Sylvania SEH3C070.
What wire sizes and materials are approved for the SEH3C070 lugs?
The standard lugs accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG and are rated for both aluminum and copper conductors.
How does the interrupting rating change when used on a 240V system?
The breaker is rated for 14kAIC at its maximum 480VAC. However, when installed on a 240VAC system, the interrupting capacity increases to 18kAIC.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the SEH3C070?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Does this breaker require specific mounting hardware?
Yes, as a bolt-on breaker, it must be mechanically fastened to the panelboard bus. It does not snap into place like residential plug-on breakers.
