FAL32070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL32070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

Not every replacement circuit breaker is a direct match, even when the amperage looks right. If you're maintaining an existing FA Series electrical system, details like the mounting style, terminal configuration, and pole count matter just as much. The FAL32070 is a 70 Amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker built for compatible FA Series equipment that uses a unit-mount design. Its thermal-magnetic trip unit combines two types of protection in one breaker. Built to last, the FAL32070 helps preserve the original form, fit, and function of compatible installations without changing the design of the equipment you're servicing.
