FAP34020 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAP34020 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

Electrical systems don't always need major changes when a breaker fails. More often, the job is simply replacing the original breaker with one that matches the existing equipment. The FAP34020 is a 20 Amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 480VAC applications. It serves as a form, fit, and functional replacement for compatible Type FAP installations, helping keep your electrical distribution equipment operating without changing the original system design.

A replacement breaker should do more than match the amp rating—it also needs to be compatible with the equipment it's installed in. That's why many maintenance professionals continue to look for the same breaker series when servicing older panelboards and switchboards. Built to last, the FAP34020 has been used in commercial and industrial electrical systems where dependable replacement parts help minimize your downtime and keep existing installations operating as intended.
