FAL36050 - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL36050 - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

Finding the right replacement for your breaker is usually about matching the equipment that's already installed. The FAL36050 is a 50 Amp, 3-pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker built for compatible Type FAL applications where keeping the original electrical configuration is important. With a 600VAC rating, unit-mount design, and the familiar FAL frame style, this breaker is intended for installations that require the same form, fit, and function as the existing device.

The FAL36050 uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit that combines overload protection and short-circuit protection in a single breaker. The thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions, while the magnetic trip reacts quickly during fault conditions.
