FA36020 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA36020 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FA36020 is a 20-amp, 3-pole thermal-magnetic molded-case circuit breaker used in compatible I-Line panelboards. When you're servicing an existing electrical distribution system, matching the original breaker specifications is important for maintaining the equipment layout. 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 to protect connected circuits during normal operation.
