Eaton RDC316T33W 1600A 600V 3-Pole Circuit Breaker

Meet the Eaton RDC316T33W — a heavy-duty, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for reliable branch-circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. With a 1600A rating at 600V, this bolt-on device is built to handle demanding residential, commercial, and light industrial applications while maintaining consistent protection across a broad range of loads.

Key advantages

• Secure bolt-on mounting: delivers a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection that stays put even in environments with mechanical stress, reducing the risk of loose connections over time.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: provides stable, repeatable protection by quickly distinguishing between overloads and short-circuit events for predictably selective trips.
• Three-pole, 1600A, 600V rating: enables robust three-phase protection for large feeders and equipment, supporting sizable loads with confidence.
• OEM panel compatibility: designed to pair with matching OEM loadcenters and panelboards for a seamless, code-ready installation and reliable fit.
• Versatile across sectors: ideal for residential multi-branch panels, commercial electrical rooms, and light industrial feeder protection, offering flexibility across projects.

Practical use cases

• Upgrade or retrofit main service panels and loadcenters that require a high-capacity, reliable short-circuit protector.
• Protect large branch circuits and motor loads in commercial spaces where stability and repeatable trip performance matter.
• Install in OEM-compatible panelboards for a straightforward, compliant protection solution that aligns with factory specifications.
