FAL36045 - 45 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL36045 - 45 Amp Circuit Breaker

Keeping your existing electrical system consistent often starts with finding the correct replacement breaker. The FAL36045 is a 45 Amp, 3-pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed for compatible Type FAL installations. With a 600VAC rating, unit-mount construction, and the familiar FAL frame design, this breaker is intended for applications where maintaining the original equipment configuration is important.

The thermal-magnetic trip unit combines overload protection and short-circuit protection in one device. The thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions, while the magnetic trip reacts quickly during fault conditions. Featuring line and load lug connections, an AL100FA terminal configuration, and an HACR rating, the FAL36045 fits a variety of commercial and industrial applications where matching the existing breaker specifications is the priority.
