FA36080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA36080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

Keeping your existing electrical distribution systems operating efficiently often depends on using compatible replacement components. The FA36080 is an 80 Amp, 3-pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker designed for use in compatible FA Series I-Line panelboards. It provides the form, fit, and function needed to maintain existing installations without changing the original panelboard configuration. Its thermal magnetic trip unit responds to both overloads and short circuits, helping protect connected equipment while maintaining the operating characteristics of the original electrical system. Built to last, this molded case circuit breaker is a dependable choice for commercial and industrial facilities that continue to rely on FA Series electrical distribution equipment and require compatibility.
