FAL340401021 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL340401021 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're looking for dependable and efficient circuit protection for commercial or industrial environments, the FAL340401021 is built to keep things running safely and smoothly. This 40 Amp, 3-pole unit coverts overloads, short-circuits and heavy-demand conditions at 480 V with precision thanks to its thermal-magnetic design. The added shunt-trip feature lets you trigger the breaker remotely — ideal for HVAC, refrigeration or other systems where safety and remote shut-down matter. With its HACR rating (making it suitable for heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration applications) and compact form-factor, it fits neatly into many setups without sacrificing capability. Plus, its compliance with Green Premium™, RoHS and REACh standards means you get both performance and environmentally responsible engineering. Whether you’re installing it in a mechanical room, plant floor or central equipment rack, this model offers the protection you need when uptime and safety are critical.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Unit: Combines two trip mechanisms to respond both to sustained overloads (thermal) and sudden surges (magnetic), giving you more reliable protection under varying load conditions.
• Shunt Trip Feature: Allows remote/trip control — useful for emergency shut-off scenarios, safety lock-out protocols or integration with supervisory control systems.
• Compact Design: At approximately 6.4 in high × 4.5 in wide × 4.13 in deep, the breaker installs easily in tight spaces, panel retrofits or new panels without demanding large footprints.
• Environmental Compliance: Certified Green Premium™, RoHS and REACh compliant — meaning reduced environmental impact and peace of mind about regulatory alignment.
• High Durability & Certification: UL listed and CSA certified, making this breaker suitable for rigorous use in commercial or industrial settings.
