FAL36090 - 90 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL36090 - 90 Amp Circuit Breaker

When your circuit breaker needs to be replaced, most people aren't looking to redesign a panel—they're trying to get equipment back up and running with the correct part. The FAL36090 is a 90 Amp, 3-pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker built for installations that use the Type FAL frame. It matches the original mounting style and electrical ratings, making it a practical replacement for existing commercial and industrial equipment.

Its thermal-magnetic trip unit handles both everyday overload protection and the quick response needed during a short circuit. Rated for systems up to 600VAC, the breaker uses a unit-mount design with line and load lugs and an AL100FA terminal configuration. It's also HACR rated, making it suitable for approved heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications.
