FC34080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

FC34080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a circuit breaker, matching the electrical ratings is only part of the process. The FC34080 should also be verified by catalog (part) number, breaker type, frame, amperage, number of poles, voltage rating, interrupt rating (A.I.C.), dimensions, and terminal configuration to help ensure it is the correct replacement for your existing equipment. Confirming these specifications before installation helps maintain compatibility with the original electrical distribution system and minimizes the risk of installation issues.
