PDG23M0040TFFL - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

PDG23M0040TFFL  - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton PDG23M0040TFFL is a 40-amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from the Power Defense line. Built on a Frame 2 platform, it's designed for commercial and industrial electrical systems where dependable circuit protection and a higher interrupting capacity are important. This breaker is rated 65 kA at 480 VAC and comes with a fixed trip and load lugs. That combination makes it a practical option for replacement jobs and compatible electrical distribution applications that require these exact ratings. If you're replacing an existing breaker, the part number is usually the best place to start—but don't stop there. Check the amperage, pole count, A.I.C. rating, trip configuration, dimensions, and connection requirements against the equipment you're working on. For applications that specifically require PDG23M0040TFFL, you get a compact Eaton molded case breaker with straightforward specifications that are easy to verify before installation.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• Material compliance and certification requirements can matter just as much as amperage and voltage, particularly on commercial and industrial projects. For the PDG23M0040TFFL, confirm any required UL, CSA, IEC, RoHS, or other regulatory approvals against the current manufacturer documentation for the exact catalog number.
• This extra check is worthwhile when the breaker is being used in equipment or a project where a particular certification, listing, or material-compliance standard is mandatory.

Where It Works Best

• The Eaton PDG23M0040TFFL makes sense for compatible commercial and industrial electrical systems that require a 40A, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker with an interrupting rating of 65kA at 480 VAC. Depending on the equipment requirements, this can include power distribution systems, machinery, control equipment, switchboards, and panel applications.
• It's especially useful for replacement work where PDG23M0040TFFL is already specified. Matching the exact catalog number can save time, but electrical ratings and physical fit should always be checked as well. Before installation, verify the breaker's 40A rating, three-pole configuration, interrupting capacity, fixed trip, load-lug arrangement, dimensions, and compatibility with the equipment.
