Panel & Switchboard Compatibility

The Eaton HFD3040 is an HFD-frame molded case circuit breaker — a commercial and industrial-grade MCCB rated 40A, 3-pole, 600V AC, 25kA interrupt. As a bolt-on MCCB, it is designed to mount in Eaton/Cutler-Hammer compatible panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centres that accept HFD-frame breakers, rather than in residential loadcentres.

  • Suitable for industrial distribution, feeder, and motor branch-circuit protection up to 600V AC
  • Thermal-magnetic trip mechanism provides overload and short-circuit protection
  • Not interchangeable with residential BR or CH plug-on breakers

Send us your panelboard or switchboard model and we'll confirm fitment for your application.

The HFD3040 carries a 25kA interrupting capacity at 600V AC, making it well suited for commercial and industrial panelboards and switchboards where fault currents are within that threshold. Always verify the available fault current at your installation point — if your system exceeds 25kA, a higher interrupt-rated HFD variant may be required. Contact us and we can help you select the right breaker.

Yes. The HFD-frame series is commonly applied to motor feeder and branch-circuit protection in industrial environments. At 40A/3-pole/600V, it is compatible with many motor circuits when sized in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) motor protection rules (Section 28). We recommend confirming the motor FLA and code-required sizing before ordering.

The HFD frame has seen limited production runs and certain configurations can be difficult to source.
