FAL340151021 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL340151021 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a breaker with a factory-installed shunt trip, matching the original specifications matters just as much as matching the amp rating. The FAL340151021 is a 15 Amp, 3-pole FA Series molded case circuit breaker that combines thermal-magnetic protection with a factory-installed 1021 shunt trip for applications where the breaker needs to be opened remotely. It's a practical replacement for compatible FA Series equipment, helping maintain the original form, fit, and function without changing the existing panel layout or control wiring.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The FAL340151021 is UL Listed and CSA Certified for use in applications that require these recognized safety certifications. Before replacing an existing breaker, verify that the amp rating, pole configuration, voltage class, mounting arrangement, terminal style, and shunt trip configuration match the equipment you're servicing. Install according to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes.

Where It Works Best

This breaker is commonly found in commercial and industrial electrical distribution equipment where remote tripping is part of the system design. It's well suited for maintaining existing FA Series installations in manufacturing facilities, mechanical equipment, HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, control panels, and other three-phase applications that require a factory-installed shunt trip.
