B-LINE RDC316T32W – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the RDC316T32W circuit breaker come with lugs or terminals?
No. The RDC316T32W ships without terminals, so cable lugs have to be ordered separately to match your conductor size. The breaker is configured for a cable connection rather than a bus or drawout stab arrangement, so plan on sourcing the correct R-frame lug kit before the install date.
2) Is the RDC316T32W rated for a 600V three-phase service?
Yes. It is a three-pole breaker rated 600 Vac with an interrupting rating of 50 kAIC at 600 Vac. On a 480 Vac system the interrupting rating is 65 kAIC. Check those AIC numbers against your available fault current at the point of application before you set it.
3) Does this Eaton Series C breaker have adjustable trip settings or is it thermal-magnetic?
It uses an electronic LSI trip unit, not a thermal-magnetic element. LSI gives you adjustable long time, short time, and instantaneous functions, which is what you need to coordinate selectively with downstream breakers. There is no ground fault (G) function on this trip designation.
4) What size service will a 1600A R-frame breaker like the RDC316T32W handle?
The RDC316T32W is a 1600 amp frame device, which puts it at main-breaker or large feeder duty in a switchboard or service entrance rather than branch circuit work. It is an R-frame molded case breaker, the largest of Eaton's Series C molded case line, so the enclosure or switchboard section has to be prepped for R-frame mounting.
5) How much does the RDC316T32W weigh and how much space does it need?
Plan for a heavy lift: the breaker weighs 102 lb and measures 15.5 inches in height, 15.5 inches in width, and 9.75 inches in length. At that weight it is a two-person set, and the switchboard or enclosure section needs clearance on all sides of a roughly 15-1/2 inch square footprint.
6) Will the RDC316T32W drop into an existing Eaton RD frame breaker location?
It is an Eaton Series C RDC-type breaker on the R-frame, three-pole, cable connected, supplied without terminals. Matching a replacement means confirming the existing unit is the same R-frame, same pole count, and the same cable-connected (not drawout or bus-connected) configuration, and that the existing lugs suit an unlugged breaker. Where the outgoing breaker differs on any of those, it is not a straight swap.
7) What is the exact part number to specify for this 1600A Eaton breaker?
Order it as Eaton part number RDC316T32W. That single designation covers the 1600A, three-pole, 600 Vac, electronic LSI, R-frame, cable-connected, no-terminal build, so no suffix or option code needs to be added at order time.
