FAL34035 - 35 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL34035 - 35 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need to replace an existing Square D FAL34035, choosing a breaker with the same ratings and factory-installed accessories helps maintain the original design of your electrical system. This 35 amp, 3-pole FA Series molded case circuit breaker features a factory-installed shunt trip, allowing the breaker to be opened remotely when connected to a compatible control circuit. Shunt trip breakers are commonly used in commercial and industrial applications where emergency shutdown, fire safety systems, or other remote disconnect functions are required. The thermal-magnetic trip unit protects against two common fault conditions: the thermal element responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic element reacts almost instantly to short circuits.
