FAL3603013M - 30 Amp Motor Circuit Protector

FAL3603013M - 30 Amp Motor Circuit Protector

Keeping your existing motor control system in service often comes down to finding the right replacement device. The FAL3603013M is a 30 Amp, 3-pole Type FAL Motor Circuit Protector intended for applications where matching the original breaker matters. Using a compatible replacement helps you avoid unnecessary changes to equipment that was built around the FAL platform.

This motor circuit protector is used for magnetic-only short-circuit protection in motor branch circuits and is intended to work alongside a separate overload device as part of a properly coordinated motor protection system.

Material Compliance and Certifications

This product should be installed only in equipment designed to accept a compatible Type FAL motor circuit protector. Before replacing an existing device, verify the catalog number, amp rating, pole count, interrupting capacity, and application requirements. Matching these specifications helps maintain the original protection scheme and equipment design.

Where It Works Best

The FAL3603013M is commonly found protecting motors in commercial and industrial facilities. Typical applications include motor control centers, pump systems, air compressors, HVAC equipment, conveyor systems, manufacturing machinery, and other installations that use separate overload protection for electric motors. It's a natural choice when maintaining existing equipment that already uses a compatible FAL motor circuit protector.
