Eaton FDC3200 - 200 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton FDC3200 — a rugged, high-performance solution for dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. With a 200 A rating and 600 V capacity, this 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker is built for demanding electrical environments where secure connections and precise protection matter.

• Bolt-on mounting for a secure, vibration-resistant bus connection — a rigid mounting approach that maintains electrical integrity in busy electrical rooms and installations with movement or vibration.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit — delivers stable, repeatable protection: the thermal element handles gradual overloads, while the magnetic element snaps into action for rapid short-circuit clearing.
• OEM-loadcenter compatibility — designed to integrate smoothly with matching Eaton OEM loadcenters and panelboards, simplifying replacements and retrofits.
• Versatile application — ideal for residential, commercial, and light-industrial applications where reliable three-phase protection is essential.
