FA32040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA32040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a replacement breaker that matches the original equipment, the FA32040 is designed to provide the proper form, fit, and function for compatible I-Line panelboards. This 40-amp, 3-pole thermal-magnetic molded-case circuit breaker is intended for maintaining existing electrical distribution systems without requiring changes to the panel layout. Whether you're replacing a worn component during routine maintenance or restoring equipment to service, this breaker helps keep compatible systems operating as intended.

The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism combines protection against prolonged overloads and short-circuit conditions, making it well-suited for everyday commercial and industrial electrical applications.
