FAL36080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL36080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FAL36080 is an 80 Amp, 3-pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker used in electrical equipment built around the Type FAL frame. When you're servicing existing systems, the right replacement is usually the one that matches what is already installed. This breaker is intended for applications where the original amp rating, mounting style, and electrical configuration need to stay the same.

The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides protection for both overload conditions and short circuits. The thermal side responds to prolonged overcurrent situations, while the magnetic trip responds quickly during fault events.
