FAL360201021 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL360201021 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

Electrical systems that incorporate remote shutdown functions depend on having the right breaker in place. The FAL360201021 is a 20 Amp, 3-pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker with a factory-installed shunt trip, built for compatible FAL applications operating on systems rated up to 600VAC. When it's time to replace an existing breaker, matching the original configuration helps you avoid unnecessary changes to the panel, wiring, or control circuit.

The integrated shunt trip allows the breaker to open from a remote electrical signal, a feature often found in equipment tied into emergency stop stations, fire alarm systems, or other building controls. Beyond that, it functions just as you'd expect from a thermal magnetic breaker—handling sustained overloads with its thermal element while responding quickly to short-circuit conditions through magnetic tripping. Its three-pole, unit-mounted design makes it a natural fit anywhere a compatible FAL breaker is already installed.
