Serving as an exact match for discontinued infrastructure, the 90A F3090 maintains operations in commercial facilities. This bolt-on unit fits seamlessly into classic Westinghouse enclosures, Eaton Pow-R-Line C panelboards, and motor control centers. It serves as a drop-in substitute for FDB3090 and FD3090 models. Featuring a 14kAIC rating at 480VAC and reverse feed capabilities, it utilizes proven De-Ion arc extinguishing technology for safe fault clearing.
Which panelboards accept the Westinghouse F3090 breaker?
The F3090 is a bolt-on F-frame breaker that fits directly into legacy Westinghouse enclosures, Eaton Pow-R-Line C panelboards, and compatible motor control centers.
Is there a modern Eaton equivalent for the Westinghouse F3090?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse breaker line, and modern Eaton Series C F-frame breakers, such as the FD3090 and FDB3090, serve as direct cross-reference replacements for this legacy model.
Does the F3090 plug into the panel bus?
No, the F3090 is a bolt-on circuit breaker. It requires bolted connections to the panelboard bus and is not compatible with plug-on load centers.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on this breaker?
The included load side lug terminals are designed to accept wire gauges ranging from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG.
Is the F3090 suitable for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes. While primarily used in AC systems up to 600VAC, this thermal-magnetic breaker is also rated for 250VDC applications with a 10kA interrupting capacity.
Are the trip settings on the F3090 adjustable?
No. This breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit, meaning both the long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
What arc extinguishing technology does the F3090 use?
This legacy breaker utilizes Westinghouse De-Ion arc extinguishing technology to rapidly clear faults and safely interrupt current during a short circuit or overload.
