FAL32080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL32080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

Keeping your existing electrical system operating often comes down to finding a circuit breaker that matches the original design. While the amperage rating is important, so are the mounting method, pole configuration, and terminal style. The FAL32080 is an 80 Amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for compatible FA Series electrical equipment using a unit-mount configuration. Its thermal-magnetic trip unit provides two layers of protection: the thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions, while the magnetic element reacts quickly to short circuits.
