FAL340601021 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

When it comes to protecting your electrical system, nothing speaks reliability like the FAL340601021 from Schneider Electric. This high-performance breaker is designed to safeguard three-phase circuits up to 480 V with a 60-amp rating—and incorporates thermal-magnetic trip technology to keep overloads, short-circuits and unexpected events in check. Built with premium components and thoughtful engineering, the FAL340601021 gives you a dependable solution for demanding commercial and industrial applications where performance counts.

Key Features & Benefits

• 60 Amp Rated Current & 3-Pole Configuration: Handles significant loads in three-phase systems while maintaining precise protection.
• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Unit: Combines overload (thermal) and instantaneous (magnetic) protection to help extend equipment life and reduce downtime.
• Shunt Trip Capability: Supports remote tripping for enhanced control and safety in environments requiring emergency or automated shutdown actions.
• High Interrupting Capacity: Rated for up to 18 kA at 480 V AC and up to 25 kA at 240 V AC (and 10 kA at 250 V DC) for superior protection in heavy-duty installations.
• Versatile Lug Connections & Unit Mounting: Wire with flexibility—compatible with both copper and aluminum conductors (AWG 14 through 1/0) and ideal for unit-mounted panel installations.
