PDG23M0150TFFJ - 150 Amp Circuit Breaker

PDG23M0150TFFJ - 150 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're searching for the Eaton PDG23M0150TFFJ, chances are you already know most of what you need—the part number, amperage, and number of poles. The details still matter, though. This Power Defense molded-case circuit breaker is a 150A, 3-pole, Frame 2 breaker rated at 65 kAIC at 480 VAC. It has a fixed thermomagnetic trip and comes with line and load lugs. There aren't adjustable trip settings to configure, which keeps things fairly straightforward when the application calls for fixed protection. The PDG23M0150TFFJ is intended for compatible commercial and industrial electrical distribution equipment, particularly where a three-pole breaker and higher interrupting capacity are required. It's also worth checking the entire breaker specification before using it as a replacement. A breaker may have the right 150A rating but still be wrong for the equipment because of its frame, interrupting rating, trip type, connections, or physical size.

Key Features and Benefits

• 150A rating for applications requiring 150-amp circuit protection.
• Three poles for compatible three-phase electrical systems.
• 65 kAIC at 480 VAC, providing high fault-interrupting capacity.
• Fixed thermomagnetic trip for overcurrent and short-circuit protection.
• Frame 2 Power Defense molded case design.
• Line and load lugs included with the breaker configuration.
• Suitable for compatible commercial and industrial power distribution equipment.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The PDG23M0150TFFJ is RoHS-compliant and carries recognized certifications and approvals, including UL 489, CSA, IEC 60947-2, and CCC.
• Those certifications are useful, but they're only part of the process of determining whether a breaker belongs in a particular system. Voltage, available fault current, amperage, pole count, equipment compatibility, and applicable electrical requirements all need to line up with the installation.

Where It Works Best

• This breaker is a good fit for compatible commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems that require 150A, three-pole protection. Depending on the equipment, that can include switchboards, facility electrical systems, machinery, manufacturing equipment, and other three-phase AC power distribution applications.
  
• The 65 kAIC rating at 480 VAC is an important detail. When available fault current is higher, you need a breaker with the appropriate interrupting capacity, not simply one with the correct amp rating.
