FC34070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

FC34070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

A replacement circuit breaker should match more than just the amp rating. Before installing the FC34070, it's important to compare the catalog (part) number, breaker type, frame, amperage, number of poles, voltage rating, interrupt rating (A.I.C.), dimensions, and terminal configuration with your existing breaker. Taking a few moments to verify these details can help you ensure the replacement is compatible with the original electrical distribution system and fits as intended.
