FDPW368 - 1200 Amp Panelboard Switch

FDPW368 - 1200 Amp Panelboard Switch

Need a heavy‑duty circuit breaker that handles serious power demands? The FDPW368 is a 3‑pole, 1200‑amp, 600‑volt AC, fusible branch circuit breaker designed for demanding industrial and commercial electrical systems. With a bolt-in frame type (FDPW), this unit is built for secure installation and long-term reliability. It accepts Class L fuses and bundles safety, durability, and performance into one compact package—making it an excellent choice for main distribution, feeder lines, or branch circuits where dependable overload/fault protection is a must.

Key Features and Benefits

• High current capacity: At 1200 amps, this breaker supports heavy loads — ideal for industrial equipment, motor control centers, or large distribution panels.
• 3‑Pole protection: Provides complete three-phase circuit isolation and balanced protection for all phases.
• 600 V AC rating: Offers flexibility to serve a wide range of medium‑voltage electrical installations.
• Fusible branch design: Accepts Class L fuses — enabling rapid fault interruption and helping prevent damage to wiring, equipment, or downstream components.
• Bolt-in frame (FDPW): Secure, vibration‑resistant installation that ensures stable performance under demanding conditions.
• Durable construction: Built from high-grade conductive and insulating materials to resist wear, corrosion, and temperature stress — delivering reliable performance over years of operation.
• Simplified maintenance: Using fuses rather than complex electronic trip mechanisms reduces maintenance complexity and can be quicker and more economical to service.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• Material and Build: This breaker is manufactured with premium-grade copper-alloy bus bars and heavy-duty insulating materials engineered to meet rigorous electrical safety and performance standards typically required in industrial and commercial settings. The design aligns with industry benchmarks for fusible branch circuit breakers, including appropriate heat‑resistance, dielectric strength, and mechanical durability. All components are precision-assembled under strict quality controls, ensuring long-term reliability and safety in demanding environments.

Where It Works Best

• Large industrial facilities requiring high amperage distribution — such as manufacturing plants, data centers, or heavy machinery workshops.
• Commercial buildings with high-duty electrical loads — for main feeder or sub-panel protection.
• Electrical switchboards and distribution panels need a dependable fusible solution for branch circuits.
• Installations where simple maintenance and rapid fuse replacement are preferred over more complex trip-unit breakers.
• Environments where stable, vibration-resistant mounting is essential — thanks to the bolt-in frame design.
