FA24020BC - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA24020BC - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're replacing a compatible FA-frame I-Line circuit breaker, the FA24020BC is designed to match the original installation's form, fit, and function. This 20 Amp, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism that helps protect electrical circuits from both sustained overloads and short-circuit conditions. Its I-Line plug-in design with a B-C phase configuration allows it to integrate with compatible electrical distribution equipment without altering the existing system layout.
