FAL32025 - 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL32025 - 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need dependable protection for three-phase circuits, the Schneider Electric FAL32025 delivers performance you can trust. Rated for 25 amps and 240 volts with a 3-pole configuration, this breaker uses thermal-magnetic trip technology to guard your system against overloads and short circuits. Its compact footprint—approximately 6.4 in × 4.5 in × 4.13 in (162.6 × 114.3 × 104.9 mm)‎—makes it easy to mount in commercial and industrial panels where space is at a premium. With lugs on both the line and load sides (terminal AL50FA), you’ll find installation straightforward and reliable. Designed for demanding electrical environments, the FAL32025 is HACR-rated (suitable for HVAC systems), UL listed and CSA certified, providing you with peace of mind and code compliance. Whether you’re upgrading a control panel, expanding an electrical distribution system or simply replacing a worn breaker, this model is built to meet rigorous standards while delivering strong circuit-interruption capability and long service life.
