PDG23G0040TFFJ - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

PDG23G0040TFFJ - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a 40A, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker for a compatible commercial or industrial application, the Eaton PDG23G0040TFFJ is worth a closer look. Part of the Power Defense line, this Frame 2 breaker is rated at 35 kA at 480 VAC and comes with a fixed trip and line and load lugs. It's a straightforward configuration that makes it easy to compare against the requirements of an existing system or a new installation. With three poles and a 40-amp rating, the PDG23G0040TFFJ is intended for compatible three-phase power distribution applications where dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection is required. And when you're replacing an existing breaker, having the exact catalog number, frame size, amperage, interrupting rating, and connection type in one place can make it much easier to match the right breaker.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The PDG23G0040TFFJ belongs to Eaton's globally rated Power Defense molded case circuit breaker family. Compliance markings and certifications can depend on the exact breaker configuration and intended application. If your project calls for a specific UL, CSA, IEC, RoHS, or other regulatory requirement, check the markings on the breaker and the applicable manufacturer documentation before installation.

Where It Works Best

• The PDG23G0040TFFJ is a good match for compatible commercial and industrial electrical systems that require 40-amp, three-pole circuit protection with up to a 35 kA interrupting rating at 480 VAC. It may be used in compatible power distribution equipment, electrical panels, machinery, control systems, and other three-phase applications.
• For replacement work, don't rely on amperage alone. Check the PDG23G0040TFFJ part number, three-pole configuration, Frame 2 size, fixed-trip design, voltage and interrupting rating, lug arrangement, and physical dimensions against the equipment you're servicing. Those details matter when you're trying to get the right breaker into the right application.
