PDG23M0070TFFL - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

PDG23M0070TFFL - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton PDG23M0070TFFL is a 70-amp, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker from the Power Defense line. It is a Frame 2 breaker with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip and an interrupting rating of 65 kAIC at 480 VAC. This model also includes standard load-side terminals. It's a practical choice for commercial and industrial electrical equipment that calls for these specific ratings. For replacement applications, it's worth checking more than just the amperage. The frame size, number of poles, trip type, interrupting rating, terminal setup, and physical dimensions should all match the equipment requirements. If your application specifies the PDG23M0070TFFL, these are the main details you'll want to confirm before installation.

Key Features and Benefits

• 70A rating for applications requiring 70 amp circuit protection.
• 3-pole design for compatible three-phase systems.
• Rated 65 kAIC at 480 VAC.
• Fixed thermal-magnetic trip provides overload and short-circuit protection.
• Frame 2 Power Defense construction.
• Comes with standard load-side terminals.
• Straightforward fixed-trip design with no adjustable electronic trip settings to configure.
• Compact dimensions can make it easier to verify physical fit when replacing an existing breaker.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The manufacturer identifies the PDG23M0070TFFL as RoHS compliant. Manufacturer information also lists UL 489, CSA, IEC 60947-2, and CCC certifications or approvals for this product.
• Always check the applicable electrical requirements before putting a breaker into service. Voltage, available fault current, conductor requirements, equipment compatibility, and local electrical codes can all affect whether a particular breaker is right for the job.

Where It Works Best

• The PDG23M0070TFFL works well with compatible commercial and industrial equipment that requires a 70A, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker. It may be used in three-phase distribution equipment, machinery, control equipment, and similar electrical applications when its ratings meet the system requirements.
  
• It's also well suited to replacement situations where this exact part number is specified. When replacing a breaker, don't assume that another 70 amp model is automatically interchangeable. Check the frame, poles, voltage, interrupting capacity, trip type, terminals, dimensions, and equipment requirements. Those details are what determine whether the breaker is actually a proper match.
