Designed for commercial and industrial applications, the Eaton FB2030 is a 30A legacy molded case circuit breaker. It mounts into classic Westinghouse CDP and FDP panelboards, as well as compatible motor control centers, serving as an exact replacement for FDB2030 and FD2030 models. Featuring thermal-magnetic trip technology and a 14kAIC rating at 480VAC, this unit provides reliable overcurrent protection while utilizing a unique two-pole design housed within a standard three-pole frame.
Which panelboards are designed to accept the FB2030 breaker?
This bolt-on F-frame breaker is specifically designed for legacy Westinghouse CDP and FDP panelboards, as well as compatible motor control centers.
How much panel space does the 2-pole FB2030 require?
The FB2030 utilizes a 2-pole configuration housed within a standard 3-pole F-frame footprint. It will occupy the physical space of a 3-pole breaker in your panelboard chassis.
Can the trip curve on the FB2030 be adjusted for selective coordination?
No, this breaker uses a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous settings. It does not offer field adjustability.
What is the modern Eaton replacement for the legacy Westinghouse FB2030?
For modern panel upgrades, the FB2030 is commonly replaced by Eaton Series C F-frame breakers, such as the FDB2030 or FD2030, which share the same physical footprint.
Why is the FB2030 branded as both Eaton and Westinghouse?
Eaton acquired the Westinghouse electrical distribution business in 1994. As a result, legacy Westinghouse frames like the FB series are often cross-referenced or branded under Eaton and Cutler-Hammer.
Can the FB2030 be applied in direct current (DC) circuits?
Yes, the thermal-magnetic trip unit is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, providing a 10kA interrupting capacity for DC loads.
