FAL24040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL24040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

Selecting the right replacement breaker starts with matching the details that matter most — current rating, pole configuration, mounting style, and compatibility with the existing electrical equipment. The FAL24040 is a 40 Amp, 2-pole FA Series thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker designed for compatible electrical distribution applications where maintaining the original system configuration is important.

The FAL24040 is also HACR rated, making it appropriate for qualifying heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications. Built to last, this molded case circuit breaker helps you maintain the original form, fit, and functional characteristics of compatible installations while providing the protection expected from a thermal-magnetic breaker.
