FA26030AB - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA26030AB - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

Not every 30 Amp breaker is interchangeable, which is why matching the original specifications is so important. The FA26030AB is a 2-pole FA thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker made for compatible I-Line plug-in panelboards using an A-B phase configuration. If you're replacing an existing breaker in a commercial or industrial electrical system, this model is intended to match the original form, fit, and function without changing the panel layout or electrical characteristics.

Its thermal magnetic trip unit helps protect circuits by responding to both sustained overloads and short-circuit faults during normal operation. Rated at 25kA at 240VAC and 18kA at 480VAC, the FA26030AB is designed for applications that require those interrupting capacities. It also carries a HACR Type rating for compatible heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. Built for 60Hz electrical systems and ambient temperatures up to 40°C, this breaker is made to last and is well-suited to keeping existing electrical distribution equipment in service with the correct replacement component.
