The Eaton Cutler-Hammer EHD3040 represents a durable molded-case circuit breaker designed for reliable circuit protection. This unit operates at a maximum AC voltage of 480 VAC and accommodates DC applications up to 250 VDC. It is built to provide reliable functionality through its thermal-magnetic trip technology while achieving an interrupting rating of 14 kAIC at 480 VAC, ensuring effective containment of fault conditions.
With a continuous current rating of 40 amperes, the EHD3040 is equipped to handle significant loads in a three-phase configuration thanks to its three-pole setup. This breaker features a fixed trip setting, contributing to its straightforward operational profile. Its frame complies with the NEMA F-frame dimensions ensuring compatibility in installations where this type of framing is standard.
For mounting, the EHD3040 uses a fixed panel style that allows it to be securely set in place within control panels or cabinets. The design employs a cable-in and cable-out layout for its terminals. This configuration includes load lugs exclusively, making installation and maintenance efficient while reducing complexity. The EHD3040 operates effectively across frequency ratings of 50 Hz and 60 Hz, making it versatile for various industrial power systems.
