FAL32030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL32030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

When your circuit breaker needs to be replaced, finding one with the right ratings and configuration can save time and help keep your electrical system operating as intended. The FAL32030 is a 30 Amp, 3-pole FA Series thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker designed for use in compatible electrical distribution equipment. Because it matches the original form, fit, and function of FA Series installations, it's a practical solution for maintenance, repairs, and replacing an existing breaker.

Inside the breaker are two protective elements working together. The thermal trip mechanism responds when circuits carry too much current for an extended period, while the magnetic trip mechanism reacts almost instantly to short-circuit conditions. That combination helps protect your wiring and connected equipment from common electrical faults.
