FCP34040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

FCP34040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FCP34040 is a 40 Amp three-pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker used in commercial and industrial electrical systems where your existing breaker specifications need to be matched. This FCP frame breaker is commonly used in equipment where maintaining the correct amperage rating, voltage rating, and three-pole configuration is important.

The FCP34040 provides thermal magnetic protection for overload and short-circuit conditions. The thermal trip responds to sustained overcurrent, while the magnetic trip helps respond during fault conditions.
