PDG23M0100TFFJ - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

PDG23M0100TFFJ - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton PDG23M0100TFFJ is a 100-amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from the Power Defense line. It's a Frame 2 breaker with a 65 kA interrupting rating at 480 VAC and a fixed thermomagnetic trip. In practical terms, it's designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection without adjustable trip settings. The breaker also comes with line and load lugs. This combination makes the PDG23M0100TFFJ a good fit for compatible commercial and industrial electrical equipment where a 100A three-pole breaker with a higher interrupting rating is called for. If you're replacing an existing breaker, take a minute to compare the full specifications. Amperage and pole count are important, but the interrupting rating, trip type, connections, dimensions, and equipment requirements must also match.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The PDG23M0100TFFJ is manufactured to recognized electrical standards. Manufacturer information identifies UL 489, CSA, IEC 60947-2, and CCC certifications, along with RoHS compliance.
• These approvals can be important when you're matching a breaker to a particular piece of equipment or project specification. Requirements aren't the same for every installation, though, so the breaker should always be checked against the equipment specifications and applicable electrical codes before it's installed.

Where It Works Best

• The PDG23M0100TFFJ circuit breaker is intended for compatible commercial and industrial electrical applications requiring 100A, three-pole circuit protection. This can include power distribution equipment, machinery, control equipment, manufacturing environments, and other three-phase electrical systems.
  
• The 65 kA rating at 480 VAC is worth paying attention to. For an application where available fault current requires this level of interrupting capacity, a lower-rated breaker may not be an appropriate substitute.
  
• Replacing an existing PDG23M0100TFFJ? Matching the exact part number is a good starting point. Still, check the nameplate and equipment requirements before making the swap. Make sure the 100A rating, three poles, 65kA at 480VAC rating, fixed thermomagnetic trip, lug configuration, and physical dimensions are right for the application.
  
• It's a fairly straightforward breaker, and that's part of its appeal: 100 amps, three poles, fixed-trip protection, and 65 kA interrupting capacity at 480 VAC in the Power Defense Frame 2 platform.
