FA24040BC **Old Style** - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker
When your circuit breaker needs to be replaced, the most important thing is getting one that matches the original equipment. The FA24040BC Old Style is a 40 Amp, 2-pole thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker designed for compatible FA-frame I-Line panelboards and switchboards using a B-C phase connection. With its I-Line plug-in design, it installs into the appropriate equipment without requiring modifications, making it a practical choice for maintaining existing electrical distribution systems.
Its thermal-magnetic trip unit responds to both prolonged overloads and short-circuit conditions, helping protect connected equipment and branch circuits during normal operation.
