FAL34040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL34040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

Experience dependable protection with the FAL34040 from the FA series. Engineered for commercial and industrial electrical systems, this 40 Amp, 3-pole circuit breaker handles up to 480 V and brings the advanced thermal-magnetic trip mechanism you require to safeguard your equipment and infrastructure. Whether you’re managing HVAC loads or a heavy distribution panel, the FAL34040 delivers consistent performance and peace of mind.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Technology: Combines a time-delayed thermal element to guard against sustained overloads with a fast-acting magnetic element to react to instantaneous short circuits—so your system is protected on both fronts.
• High Interrupting Capacity (Breaking Capacity Code A): Able to interrupt high fault currents safely, reducing potential damage to your electrical setup.
• Unit-Mount Design for Easy Integration: Streamlines installation and replacement—ideal when you need minimal downtime.
• Versatile for HACR Applications: Compatible with heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment—ensuring your system meets required safety standards and operates reliably in specialized environments.
