FAL34035 - 35 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL34035 - 35 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you’re selecting a circuit breaker that must perform reliably in commercial or industrial electrical systems, the FAL34035 by Schneider Electric (Square D) stands out. This 3-pole, 35 amp, 480 volt unit uses thermal-magnetic trip-unit technology to deliver accurate protection—from overloads to short-circuit events—giving you peace of mind that your system is safeguarded. With factory-rated lugs on both the line and load sides and a unit-mount design, installation is straightforward and secure. Plus, this breaker integrates sustainability features aligned with modern standards, making it a smart choice for enterprises that care about performance and environmental impact.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Unit: Combines thermal sensing for sustained overloads and magnetic sensing for sudden short-circuit surges, so the system responds swiftly and correctly.
• High Interrupting Capacity: With a magnetic hold around 400 A and a trip current up to approximately 850 A (as indicated in datasheet summaries), this breaker is built to handle fault conditions without failure.
• Line & Load Lug Terminals: Simplifies wiring and installation by providing secure lugs on both ends, enhancing ease of maintenance and replacement.
• HACR-Rated: Suitable for heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment—so it’s versatile in HVAC as well as general power distribution settings.
• Sustainability Conscious: Meets stringent material-compliance and environmental standards from Schneider Electric, making it an environmentally responsible selection for modern electric systems.
