Eaton FD3020 C Series moulded case circuit breaker is a type of complete breaker. It is designed for protecting an electrical circuit from damage caused by excessive current flows.
Features:
- This F-frame circuit breaker is designed for HID (high-intensity discharge) and reverse feed applications.
- It features a thermal-magnetic trip assembly to provide both long-time and instantaneous current limiting functions for maximum protection against over current and short circuits.
- It has a 3-pole configuration that offers 35kA @ 480V interrupting rating at 20A, ideal for lighting or heating applications.
- This unit features a bolt-on connection for easy installation and also ensures hassle-free wiring configuration.
- Its moulded case design holds the current-carrying components, trip devices and other mechanisms into a small space.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the role of a three-pole circuit breaker?
A. These heavy-duty, three-pole circuit breakers are designed to connect three different conductors for use in heavy-duty industrial motors. When a surge happens in any of the conductors, the breaker trips and the circuit opens to prevent fire hazards.
Q. What is the life expectancy of moulded case circuit breakers (MCCB)?
A. It is expected to be 30 years under favourable environments and regular maintenance.
