The Eaton FDC1020 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker from Eaton's FDC frame series, rated 1-pole, 20 A, 347 V AC, 35 kA interrupting capacity. As an MCCB, it is designed for industrial panelboards and switchboards that accept bolt-on FDC-frame devices — it is not intended for residential loadcentres. Its 347 V rating makes it well-suited for single-phase branch circuit protection on Canadian 600 V-class distribution systems (347/600 V wye), common in commercial and industrial facilities.
Compatibility depends on the specific Eaton panelboard or switchboard bus configuration accepting the FDC bolt-on frame. Send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm fitment.
Canada's standard commercial and industrial distribution voltage is 347/600 V (wye-connected). The FDC1020 is specifically rated at 347 V, making it the correct choice for single-phase branch circuits on these systems — standard 120/240 V residential breakers are not approved for this voltage level.
Eaton's FDC frame has been superseded by newer series in some product lines. Whether new, refurbished, or new-old-stock (NOS) units are available depends on current inventory. Northern Breaker Group specializes in hard-to-find and obsolete breakers — contact our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counter and we'll locate stock for you.
Yes — provided the replacement unit carries the same frame (FDC), pole count (1P), amperage (20 A), voltage rating (347 V), and interrupting rating (35 kA), it is a like-for-like substitution. Always verify the bus stab/bolt-on configuration of your panelboard matches before installing, and ensure the replacement is CSA-certified for Canadian installations.
