FAL32050 - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL32050 - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

Finding your replacement breaker isn't always as simple as matching the amperage. The mounting style, terminal layout, and pole configuration all need to line up with the equipment already in service. That's where the FAL32050 fits in. Rated at 50 Amps with a 3-pole design, it's intended for compatible FA Series electrical distribution equipment where maintaining the original breaker arrangement is important.

This breaker also features a unit-mount design, AL100FA lug terminals, and line and load connections that match compatible FA Series applications. It's HACR rated for qualifying heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment, making it suitable for a wide range of maintenance and repair projects. Built to last, the FAL32050 helps keep existing electrical equipment operating with the same form, fit, and function it was originally designed around.
