FC3070 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

FC3070 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a molded case circuit breaker, matching the original specifications is usually more important than simply choosing the correct amp rating. A compatible replacement should match the catalog number, breaker type, frame, amperage, pole configuration, voltage rating, interrupting capacity, dimensions, and terminal configuration. Taking the time to verify each of these details helps ensure the breaker fits properly and performs as intended within the existing electrical system.
