DK2300 - 300AMP Circuit Breaker Description
DK2300 - 300AMP Circuit Breaker
The Eaton DK2300 is a 300 Amp, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for use in Eaton Series C K-Frame electrical systems. Whether you're replacing a failed breaker, performing scheduled maintenance, or keeping critical electrical equipment in service, the DK2300 provides the ratings and configuration needed to match existing installations without changing panel layouts or system design.
In many commercial and industrial facilities, electrical systems remain in operation for decades. When a breaker needs replacement, finding the correct frame size, amperage rating, and interrupting capacity is often more important than making changes to the system. The DK2300 is frequently selected for exactly that reason—it helps maintain the original electrical setup while restoring circuit protection to the affected equipment.
Inside the breaker is Eaton's T186 thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, which responds to both prolonged overload conditions and high-level short circuits. This combination helps protect conductors and connected equipment from damage while supporting safe system operation under normal working conditions.
Like many Eaton molded case breakers that remain in service throughout commercial and industrial facilities, the DK2300 was built to last. For maintenance departments, electrical contractors, and facility managers, it is often the practical choice when maintaining compatibility with existing Eaton equipment is the primary goal.
