B-LINE CRD316T54W – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Eaton Series C CRD316T54W circuit breaker come with lugs or terminals?
No. The CRD316T54W ships without terminals, so the line and load connectors have to be ordered separately to match your conductor size and configuration. Budget for that when you plan the job, because a 1600A R-frame breaker is not something you want sitting on the bench waiting for lugs.
2) What is the interrupting rating of the CRD316T54W at 480V?
65 kAIC at 480 Vac. The same breaker is rated 125 kAIC at 240 Vac and 50 kAIC at 600 Vac, with a 600 Vac maximum voltage rating. Compare the figure for your system voltage against the available fault current at the point of installation, not the highest number on the list.
3) Can the CRD316T54W be loaded continuously to its full 1600 amps?
Yes. It is a 100% rated device, so it can carry 1600A continuously rather than being derated to 80 percent the way a standard-rated breaker would be. That matters on a main or a large feeder where the continuous load sits close to the trip setting.
4) What protection functions does the electronic trip unit on the CRD316T54W provide?
It uses an electronic LIG trip unit: long time, instantaneous, and ground fault. There is no short time function in that combination, so if your coordination study calls for a short time delay band to selectively coordinate with downstream breakers, this trip designation is not the one to specify.
5) Will a 1600A R-frame breaker fit my existing switchboard section?
The CRD316T54W measures 20 inches by 15.5 inches by 15.5 inches and weighs 102 pounds, which is R-frame territory rather than a bolt-in panelboard breaker. Check the cubicle depth and mounting pattern in your switchboard before ordering, and plan on two people or a lift to set it.
6) Is the CRD316T54W a three-phase breaker?
Three-pole, rated to 600 Vac, so it suits 480Y/277V and 600V three-phase service and feeder applications. For single-phase or two-pole work you need a different catalog number in the series.
7) Where can I get the full spec sheet for the Eaton CRD316T54W?
Eaton publishes a spec sheet for the CRD316T54W and it is linked directly from the product information. Use it to confirm trip unit settings, accessory options, and mounting details before releasing the order on a switchgear job.
