Eaton Specification Sheet - FG3060
The FG3060 delivers 60 A at 600 Vac with fixed pickup and a T186 trip, which translates into precise fault interruption and reduced thermal stress on downstream equipment. In practical terms, this means shorter fault-clearing times, lower energy exposure during faults, and improved uptime for engine-generator sets that must meet strict availability targets. The three-pole configuration and line/load terminals enable clean, plug-and-play integration into standard generator cabinets, helping installers meet tight project schedules while maintaining compliance with cataloged wiring practices. With an 18 kAIC interrupt rating at 240 Vac and 14 kAIC at 480 Vac, it provides robust protection for both standby and prime-power applications, minimizing arc energy in fault events. The 22 kVA/17 kW rating at 240 Vac and up to 54 kVA/43 kW at 600 Vac covers a wide range of generator sizes, supporting scalable system design. The FG frame and fixed pickup support reliable operation under frequent switching, while the reverse function accommodates specific engine-generator configurations. This combination reduces total-cost-of-ownership by simplifying stocking, installation, and maintenance planning across multiple sites.

FAQs
For FG3060 installations, use the line/load terminals as specified and mount the unit within a suitable enclosure to accommodate its 7 in length, 6 in height, and 5 in width footprint. The three-pole configuration supports standard 60 Hz generator wiring, and fixed pickup simplifies wiring checks during commissioning. Ensure compatibility with your generator frame (F) and verify the ratings align with your system voltage (240–600 Vac). Regularly inspect the thermal-magnetic trip function during preventive maintenance to confirm reliable fault clearing.
