PDG23G0040TFFL - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

PDG23G0040TFFL - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton PDG23G0040TFFL is a 40-amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from the Power Defense line. Built on the Frame 2 platform, it has a 35 kAIC rating at 480 VAC and comes with a fixed trip and load lugs. It’s a practical choice for commercial and industrial electrical systems where those specific ratings are required. If you’re replacing an existing breaker, the PDG23G0040TFFL offers an easy-to-identify combination of a 40A rating, three-pole configuration, fixed-trip protection, and a compact molded-case design. At 4.19 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 3.5 inches deep, it can also be quickly compared against the breaker or equipment already in place. As always, check the full electrical ratings and physical configuration before installation—not just the part number—to make sure the breaker is right for the application.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The Power Defense Global line is designed for use across a range of electrical applications and markets. Depending on the exact product configuration, applicable certifications and compliance requirements may include standards such as UL 489, CSA, IEC 60947-2, CCC, and RoHS.
• For projects where a particular listing, certification, or material-compliance requirement is mandatory, check the markings and documentation for the specific PDG23G0040TFFL before installation.

Where It Works Best

• The PDG23G0040TFFL makes sense when the job calls for a 40A, 3-pole Power Defense Frame 2 breaker with a 35 kAIC rating at 480 VAC. Typical uses can include compatible commercial electrical distribution equipment, industrial systems, machinery, control equipment, and breaker replacement projects.
• For replacement work, take a minute to compare more than the catalog number. Check the amperage, number of poles, interrupting rating, voltage, frame size, trip type, lug configuration, and physical dimensions against the existing equipment. That extra check helps ensure the breaker actually matches the requirements of the electrical system.
