EATON CLD Series Electronic Molded Case Circuit Breakers, L Frame

What are moulded case circuit breakers?

The moulded case design of these circuit breakers provides mechanical protection for the internal components and easy installation in a panel or switchboard. They also withstand electrical and mechanical stresses during normal operation.

What is an arc fault?

The high power discharge of electricity between two or more conductors is defined as an arc fault. This electrical discharge dissipates heat, breaking down the wire's insulation and triggering a fire. Electronic breakers use advanced sensing and analysis techniques to detect unusual current patterns that may indicate an arc fault.

How to install an Eaton CLD Series moulded case circuit breaker in a panelboard?

• Before installation, turn off the power to the electrical panel or switchboard.
• Remove the appropriate breaker slot in the panel and install any necessary hardware like bus bars.
• Connect the breaker's incoming and outgoing terminals to the bus bars in the panel.
• Secure the breaker in the panel, ensuring proper alignment and tightening to the panel.
• After installation, turn the power back on and test the breaker to ensure it operates smoothly.
