FAL360401021 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL360401021 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

When your existing electrical system depends on remote breaker operation, replacing the device with the correct configuration is important. The FAL360401021 is a 40 Amp, 3-pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker with factory-installed shunt trip designed for compatible Type FAL installations. It is built for 600VAC applications and provides the same form, fit, and function needed when maintaining equipment that was originally configured around this breaker family.

The factory-installed shunt trip allows the breaker to be opened remotely through an external control circuit, which is commonly used in applications involving emergency shutdowns, building controls, and other remote disconnect functions.
