Eaton PDG23M0015TFFL 15A 3-Pole 600V Feed-Thru Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) | Power Defense

Eaton PDG23M0015TFFL — Power Defense Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB)

The Eaton PDG23M0015TFFL is a 15-amp, 3-pole, 600-volt molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from Eaton's globally-certified Power Defense Frame 2 (PDG) series. Built for commercial and industrial electrical systems, it provides dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection through a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit rated at 65 kAIC at 480V.

Its Feed-Thru terminal configuration (load-side bolt-on) allows for flexible panel integration, and the PDG23M0015TFFL is a certified direct drop-in replacement for the legacy Eaton HFD3015 and EGH3015 breakers — making it the go-to solution for facility upgrades and panel modernization without costly redesigns.

As part of Eaton's Power Defense platform, this breaker is engineered for superior arc flash safety, compact footprint, and multi-standard global compliance — all in a single SKU.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does PDG23M0015TFFL replace?

The PDG23M0015TFFL is a certified direct replacement for the Eaton HFD3015 and EGH3015 molded case circuit breakers. It fits existing Eaton panelboards without requiring panel redesign, making it the preferred choice for facility upgrades.

What does "Feed-Thru" mean on a circuit breaker?

A Feed-Thru terminal configuration means the circuit breaker connects on the load side only (bolt-on), allowing wiring to pass through the breaker terminal in a straight-through manner. This simplifies installation and wiring in panelboards and distribution systems.

What is the interrupt rating of the PDG23M0015TFFL?

This breaker is rated at 65 kA symmetrical at 480 VAC, which means it can safely interrupt fault currents up to 65,000 amperes — a critical safety rating for industrial electrical environments.

Is the PDG23M0015TFFL UL listed?

Yes. The PDG23M0015TFFL is UL 489 listed, CSA certified, and compliant with IEC 60947-2, CCC, and RoHS standards.

What is the difference between thermal-magnetic and electronic trip breakers?

A thermal-magnetic trip unit uses a bimetallic strip for overload protection and an electromagnetic element for short-circuit protection. It requires no external power and is maintenance-free — ideal for applications where simplicity and reliability are priorities. Electronic trip units offer more adjustability but require more maintenance.
