Eaton EDB3200 circuit breaker is an Eaton C Series circuit breaker used to protect connected devices like receptacles, branch circuits, external motors and HVACs from electrical damage due to excess current (overloads) or short circuits. It has a completely moulded case for enhancing the durability of current-carrying parts, trip devices & mechanisms housed inside it.
Working Mechanism:
- Eaton EDB3200 circuit breaker's contact pass current through it under normal conditions.
- But when a fault or issue is detected, they move away from each other and trip the unit.
- Users should first troubleshoot the issue before resetting the breaker.
- In case of a thermal trip, the circuit breaker needs to cool down before resetting.
Features:
- Eaton EDB3200 circuit breaker has load lug terminals for quick installation of 4 to 4/0 AWG circuit wires.
- This 3-pole complete breaker is equipped with fixed thermal-magnetic trip contacts for high-speed "blow open" action, ensuring efficient performance.
- It has bolt-on mounting style for easy installation on panels and an F-frame for reverse-feed capability.
- The unit's sliding handle actuator has three positions (ON, OFF and trip) for easy identification of the breaker's status.
Compatible Accessories:
- Load Centres, Panels & Switchboards: This Eaton EDB3200 breaker can be mounted easily onto these panelboards, switchboards, motor control centres & load centres for reliable branch circuit protection.
Standards and Approvals:
- UL
- NEMA AB1 / AB3 Enclosure
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What are the different performance ratings of this Eaton EDB3200 circuit breaker?

Q. How to install this circuit breaker?
A.
- Make sure that this Eaton EDB3200 is the correct circuit breaker matching the application requirements.
- Mount the unit on the panel or mounting surface while making sure that the accessory wirings can be reached and that the unit can be bolt-on mounted. Install & tighten the breaker mounting using screws, washers & nuts.
- Install an optional terminal end cover if necessary. Connect the line & load terminals with the accessory leads and install the terminal shield & interphase barrier if required.
- Finally, check all the mounting & terminal connecting hardware.
Q. What are points to inspect before operating this Eaton EDB3200 circuit breaker?
A.
- Keep the area around the breaker clean by using an enclosure. Remove dust, dirt, grease, moisture or foreign contaminants from the unit.
- Check that the unit's mechanical linkages like the actuator are free to move by switching the unit ON & OFF several times.
- Press the push-to-trip button, if available, at the bottom side of the unit to mechanically test the circuit breaker.
- Inspect the unit of any cracks, chipping, discolouration or any sign of overheating. Tighten the terminals & connectors. Check the mounting hardware.
- Remove any safety hazards near the circuit breaker area.
