FA34070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA34070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FA34070 is a 70-amp, 3-pole thermal-magnetic molded-case circuit breaker used in compatible I-Line panelboards. When you're maintaining an existing electrical distribution system, having the correct breaker specifications is essential for keeping the original equipment arrangement intact. This FA Series breaker is intended for applications that require the same amp rating, three-pole configuration, and panel compatibility. The thermal magnetic trip mechanism responds to both overload conditions and short circuits, helping protect connected circuits during normal operation. Built to last, this molded-case circuit breaker provides the proper fit and electrical characteristics for compatible FA Series I-Line panelboard installations in commercial and industrial environments.
