FAL32070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL32070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

When dependable electrical protection matters, the FAL32070 delivers. This 70 Amp, 3-pole circuit breaker from Schneider Electric features a thermal-magnetic trip unit, providing fast, accurate protection against both overloads and short circuits. With a high breaking capacity — including a magnetic hold current of 800 A and magnetic trip at 1,450 A — this breaker handles demanding loads with confidence. Its 240 V rating and versatile unit-mount configuration give you flexible installation options for commercial or industrial settings.

Key Features & Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: combines thermal response for sustained overloads and magnetic response for sudden faults, helping ensure your system stays safe.
• High breaking capacity: supports heavy loads and large fault currents, making it suitable even for tough usage environments.
