FAL340601021 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL340601021 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a circuit breaker in an existing electrical system, matching the original catalog number and factory-installed accessories can save time and help maintain the equipment's intended configuration. The Square D FAL340601021 is a 60 Amp, 3-pole FA Series molded case circuit breaker with a factory-installed shunt trip, making it a suitable replacement for compatible 480 VAC applications that require remote tripping capability. Its thermal-magnetic trip unit combines two levels of protection: the thermal element responds to prolonged overload conditions, while the magnetic element reacts almost instantly to short circuits.
