FAL3600712M - 7 Amp Motor Circuit Protector

The Square D FAL3600712M 7 Amp Motor Circuit Protector delivers reliable, high-precision protection for motor circuits in demanding industrial and commercial settings. Built for performance, this magnetic-only trip unit is specifically engineered to respond instantly to short-circuit or overcurrent events—providing prompt interruption to safeguard your system and minimize downtime. With its rugged construction, plug-in compatibility in the trusted FAL Series frame, and convenient feed-through line/load lug connections, this circuit breaker offers confidence and simplicity in your motor control installation. Whether you’re outfitting new equipment or upgrading your protection scheme, the FAL3600712M is a strong choice for applications that demand consistent motor circuit monitoring and fast fault clearing.

Key Features and Benefits

• Instantaneous magnetic-only protection: Designed to act quickly when a fault occurs, this unit helps prevent damage to your motor and system by cutting the current with no time-delay.
• Compact, industrial-grade construction: The breaker is built to cope with commercial or factory floor conditions, offering dependable service where uptime matters.
• Plug-in / feed-through connection ease: With line and load side lug terminals and a plug-in frame type, installation and maintenance are straightforward, reducing labor and potential wiring errors.
• Part of the FAL Series infrastructure: Fits into the Square D FAL frame lineup, allowing for familiar service, spares, and future upgrades without complete system redesign.
• Precision rating: The 7 Amp current rating gives you tight control over circuit settings — ideal when motor protection needs are clearly defined and fault-clearing must be timely.

Where It Works Best

• This motor circuit protector is ideal for use in industrial plants, manufacturing units, HVAC systems, and commercial facilities where motor drives or pump systems must be safeguarded against abrupt over-currents. It’s especially useful when you need an instantaneous clearing device without the thermal delay of standard overload breakers, and where the FAL series frame is already part of the system architecture. Think of it when you’re specifying protection for three-phase motors, motor control centers (MCCs), and when system continuity and fast fault interruption count.
