B-LINE RD316T62W – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Eaton RD316T62W circuit breaker come with lugs or terminals?
No. The RD316T62W ships without terminals, so the line and load connectors have to be ordered separately to match your conductor size and configuration. Plan for that before the shutdown window, because an R-frame breaker at 1600A needs its terminal kit on hand to be landed.
2) What is the interrupting rating of the RD316T62W at 480V and at 600V?
The RD316T62W is rated 65 kAIC at 480 Vac and 50 kAIC at 600 Vac, with a 600 Vac maximum voltage rating. If your short circuit study puts available fault current above 50 kA at a 600 V service, this breaker does not cover it at that voltage.
3) Does this Eaton R-frame breaker have adjustable electronic trip settings?
It uses an electronic LSI trip unit, meaning long-time, short-time and instantaneous elements. That gives you the adjustability needed to coordinate selectively with downstream breakers, which a thermal-magnetic unit of the same amperage will not do. There is no ground fault (G) element in an LSI unit, so if your drawing calls for LSIG you need a different trip designation.
4) Will the RD316T62W fit in my existing panel cell?
Dimensions are 15.5 x 9.75 x 15.5 inches on an Eaton R-frame. R-frame is a distinct frame size from Eaton's smaller L, N and M frames, so it only drops into equipment prepped for R-frame. If the existing breaker is a different frame designation, the mounting and bus connections will not line up.
5) Is the RD316T62W a three-pole breaker suitable for a 480V three-phase service?
Three-pole, rated to 600 Vac, so it suits 480Y/277 or 600 V three-phase service and feeder applications. It is an Eaton Series C R-frame molded case breaker in the RD type, 1600A frame.
6) How much does the RD316T62W weigh and will one person be able to install it?
At 102 lb this is a two-person lift at minimum, and most crews rig it. Figure the breaker at 15.5 x 9.75 x 15.5 inches when you check clearance in the switchboard cell and the path to it.
7) Where would you actually use a 1600A molded case breaker like this instead of a power circuit breaker?
A 1600A R-frame molded case breaker such as the RD316T62W is typically the main or a large feeder in a switchboard or an MCC, at 600 Vac or less. Molded case construction keeps it non-drawout and compact compared with a low-voltage power breaker; if your spec requires a drawout, maintainable breaker with field-replaceable contacts, a molded case unit is the wrong choice.
8) What is the exact part number and where can I get full specs on this Eaton breaker?
The manufacturer part number is RD316T62W, an Eaton Series C electronic molded case breaker. Eaton publishes a spec sheet for that part number, linked from the product description, which covers the trip unit details and accessory options.
