FAL34080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL34080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

Introducing the FAL34080 80 Amp Circuit Breaker — a dependable three-pole, 480 V device from Schneider Electric designed for demanding commercial and industrial electrical systems. With its thermal-magnetic trip unit delivering both overload and short-circuit protection, this breaker ensures your equipment stays safe and operational. Ideal for those who need trustworthy performance and straightforward installation in complex electrical environments.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines a thermal element for sustained overloads with a magnetic component for instantaneous fault currents, giving you layered protection in one device.
• High interrupting capacity: Built to handle significant fault currents — for example 18 kA at 480 V AC — so you can trust it in heavier-duty circuits.
• Unit-mount design with line and load lug terminations: Simplifies installation and daily maintenance, helping reduce downtime and labour costs.
• Environmentally conscious manufacturing: RoHS and REACh compliant, and labelled under Schneider Electric’s Green-Premium initiative — meaning reduced hazardous materials and lower lifecycle impact.

Where It Works Best

• This circuit breaker is particularly well suited for HACR-rated systems (Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration equipment), manufacturing plants, large-scale equipment rooms, or any three-phase distribution panel where reliable protection and heavy duty capacity are required. Because of its unit-mount design and high interrupting rating, it integrates well into commercial switchboards, motor control centers (MCCs), and industrial-grade power distribution systems.
