Eaton PDG1XHMDS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Eaton breaker frames does the Power Defense handle mechanism fit?
There are two frame options for the Power Defense external handle mechanism. Order PDG2XHMDS for Frame 2 breakers (frame size J-K), and PDG1XHMDS for the Frame 1 option. The mechanism is purpose-built for Eaton Power Defense molded case breakers, so match the frame of the breaker already in the panel before ordering.
2) Is the Eaton PDG2XHMDS handle mechanism rated for 480V and 600V systems?
It carries a 600V maximum rating, which covers 480V and 600V commercial and industrial distribution, and it is UL 489 listed.
3) How much space do I need in the enclosure for the PD2 Global handle mechanism?
Plan for 75 mm width, 76 mm depth, and 84 mm height on the Frame 2 (PDG2XHMDS) mechanism. Check the door and gutter clearance against those numbers before cutting the enclosure.
4) Does this handle mechanism come with the circuit breaker, or is it a separate accessory?
It is a separate accessory. The handle mechanism is a Power Defense series component ordered on its own for breaker handle replacement, retrofit, or new panel builds. The breaker itself, and any door coupling or extension shaft your installation requires, are ordered separately.
5) Does the Eaton Power Defense handle mechanism meet RoHS requirements for our spec?
RoHS compliant, and UL 489 listed. Those are the two compliance points published for the Power Defense handle mechanism, which is usually what a spec section on a panelboard or switchgear submittal asks for.
