PDG23M0040TFFJ - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

PDG23M0040TFFJ - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton PDG23M0040TFFJ is a 40-amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from the Power Defense line. Built on the Frame 2 platform, it’s designed for commercial and industrial electrical systems that require reliable three-phase circuit protection. The breaker is rated at 65 kA at 480 VAC, providing the interrupting capacity needed for applications with higher available fault current. It also has a fixed trip and includes line and load lugs, so you get a straightforward configuration that’s ready to integrate with compatible equipment. If you’re replacing an existing breaker, the PDG23M0040TFFJ gives you several easy-to-check specifications right up front: 40 amps, three poles, Frame 2 construction, and a 65kA rating at 480 VAC. That makes it easier to compare against the breaker already in your equipment before installation.

Key Features and Benefits

• 40-amp rating for compatible commercial and industrial circuits.
• 3-pole configuration for three-phase electrical applications.
• 65kA interrupting rating at 480 VAC for systems where higher fault-current protection is needed.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The PDG23M0040TFFJ is part of the globally rated Power Defense molded case circuit breaker family. Certification and material-compliance requirements can depend on the exact breaker configuration and intended installation. When a project calls for a specific listing, certification, or material standard, check the markings and manufacturer documentation for the individual breaker before installation.

Where It Works Best

• This breaker is a practical fit for commercial and industrial three-phase electrical systems that call for a 40A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker with a 65kA interrupting rating at 480 VAC. Depending on the system design, that can include electrical distribution equipment, industrial machinery, control equipment, manufacturing facilities, and other compatible 480 VAC applications.
