FA26030AC - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA26030AC - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

When keeping an existing electrical distribution system operating as intended, using the correct replacement breaker matters. The FA26030AC is a 30 Amp, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker built for compatible FA-frame I-Line panelboards. Featuring an I-Line plug-in design with an A-C phase configuration, it matches the form, fit, and function of the original breaker, helping simplify maintenance without changing the existing equipment.

Built for 60Hz systems and rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 40°C, the FA26030AC is built to last and remains a practical choice for maintaining existing FA-frame installations.
