B-LINE HLD2500 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What voltage and interrupting rating does the Eaton HLD2500 circuit breaker carry?
The HLD2500 is rated 600 Vac and 250 Vdc, with an interrupting capacity of 100 kAIC at 240 Vac and 65 kAIC at 480 Vac. Frequency rating is 50-60 Hz, so it works on either 50 Hz or 60 Hz systems. Match the AIC against the available fault current at your panel before you set it.
2) Is the HLD2500 a two-pole or three-pole breaker, and what amperage?
Two-pole, 500 amp. If your feeder is three-phase you need a three-pole L-frame device instead, not this one.
3) Is the HLD2500 adjustable trip or fixed trip?
Fixed thermal, fixed magnetic. There is no adjustable trip unit or electronic trip setting, so the 500 amp rating is what you get and coordination has to be worked out around a fixed curve. If you need field-adjustable settings, look at an electronic-trip L-frame breaker rather than the HLD.
4) Does the HLD2500 come with lugs, or do I have to order terminals separately?
Line and load terminals are included, and they're aluminum bodied, which means they accept both copper and aluminum conductors rated for Al/Cu use. It ships as a complete breaker rather than a trip unit or frame only, so there's no separate trip assembly to buy.
5) What frame size is the HLD2500 and will it fit my existing Series C panel space?
It's an L-frame device in Eaton's Series C line, HLD type. Overall it measures 13.1 by 10.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 19 pounds, so plan gutter space and mounting accordingly. L-frame and Series C mounting is not interchangeable with F-frame or J-frame cutouts, so confirm the enclosure or panel is prepped for an L-frame.
6) What is the difference between an Eaton HLD breaker and a standard LD breaker?
Within the L-frame Series C family, the type letter sets the interrupting class. The HLD type here delivers 100 kAIC at 240 Vac and 65 kAIC at 480 Vac, which is the high-interrupting tier. If your fault-current study shows lower available current, a lower-interrupting L-frame type covers it; if the study exceeds these numbers, you need a higher class or current-limiting protection ahead of it.
7) Can the HLD2500 be used on a 250 volt DC system?
Yes, it's rated 250 Vdc as well as 600 Vac, so it can serve DC applications at or below 250 volts. On DC, the two poles are typically used in series; follow Eaton's connection instruction for the DC rating.
8) I need to order a replacement 500A main for an existing Eaton panelboard. What exactly do I ask for?
Order by catalog number HLD2500, Eaton Series C, L-frame, two-pole, 500 amp, complete breaker with line and load terminals. That designation carries the frame, pole count, amperage and interrupting class in one number, so a distributor can match it without further spec.
9) Is the HLD2500 heavy enough to need two people or lifting gear to install?
At 19 pounds it's a one-person lift, but it's awkward at 13.1 inches long by 10.2 by 10.2, so working it into a live gutter overhead is a two-hand job. De-energize and plan the approach before you set it on the mounting pan.
