FC3020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

FC3020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

Replacing an existing breaker isn't just about finding the same amp rating. The FC3020 is a 20 Amp, 3-pole Type FC thermal-magnetic circuit breaker with a factory-installed, non-interchangeable trip unit, so matching the original breaker's specifications is important. Along with the amperage, you'll want to verify the breaker type, pole configuration, voltage rating, interrupting capacity, and physical dimensions before installing a replacement. Those details help ensure the new breaker fits properly and continues to provide the protection the equipment was originally designed for.
