Where It Works Best

• You’ll find the FAL26090 circuit breaker most beneficial in panelboards, motor control centres, distribution boards or HVAC systems where a reliable 90 amp protection solution is needed. In industrial facilities or commercial properties with heavy loads, this breaker ensures precise protection for sensitive equipment without oversizing components. When space is tight or installation must fit inside a compact configuration, its trimmed dimensions make it a practical choice. Also well suited for retrofit jobs where replacing an older breaker with a modern thermal-magnetic design adds safety and performance without a full panel rebuild.
