FD3020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

FD3020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

Finding the right replacement for your breaker often comes down to the details. Two breakers may look nearly identical on the outside, yet have different interrupting ratings, trip units, or voltage capacities that make one suitable and the other a poor fit. That's why experienced electricians take a few extra minutes to verify every specification before installing a replacement.

The Eaton FD3020 is a 20 Amp, three-pole molded case circuit breaker built for applications that require the electrical characteristics of an Eaton Series C F-frame breaker. Rated for 600 VAC and 250 VDC, this breaker is commonly found in commercial and industrial distribution systems where your dependable overcurrent protection is part of everyday operation.
