FA24060AC - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA24060AC - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a replacement breaker that matches your existing electrical system, the FA24060AC is designed to provide the correct fit and electrical ratings for compatible FA-frame applications. This 2-pole, 60 Amp thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker uses an I-Line plug-in design with an A-C phase configuration, making it a practical choice for maintaining existing commercial or industrial electrical equipment. Its thermal-magnetic trip mechanism helps protect circuits from both prolonged overloads and sudden short circuits, while interrupting ratings of 25kA at 240VAC and 18kA at 480VAC make it suitable for systems requiring those specific fault-current capacities. Rated for 60Hz operation and 40°C ambient temperatures, the FA24060AC is also HACR Type listed for compatible heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications. Built to last, this breaker is intended as a form-fit-and-function replacement for compatible legacy installations.
