FA26040BC - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA26040BC - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you need a FA26040BC circuit breaker to match an existing electrical system, this model is designed to provide the same form, fit, and function as the original. It features a 40 Amp, 2-pole configuration with an I-Line plug-in mounting style and B-C phase arrangement for use in compatible panelboards. The built-in thermal magnetic trip unit responds to both overloads and short circuits, helping protect connected equipment during everyday operation. Rated for 25 kA at 240 VAC and 18 kA at 480 VAC, this breaker is commonly found in commercial and industrial power distribution systems operating at 60Hz.
