FAL36015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL36015 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need dependable circuit protection for demanding three-phase systems, the Schneider Electric FAL36015 delivers with precision and durability. This 15-amp, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker is rated for up to 600 V, making it well-suited for both commercial and residential environments where reliable performance and safety are essential. Featuring thermal-magnetic trip unit technology, the FAL36015 provides fast response to both overload and short-circuit events—so you get sound protection without guesswork. Built to last, this breaker supports feed-through lug connections for both line and load sides, helping installation teams save time and avoid complexity.

Key Features and Benefits

• Versatile voltage and current rating: Supports 15 A line current at up to 600 V in a three-pole configuration, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial and facility power systems.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines long-time thermal overload protection with instantaneous magnetic trip for short-circuit events, giving you two layers of safety in one device.
• High interrupting capacity: Designed to handle fault conditions up to 14 kA at 600 V (and 18 kA at 480 V depending on variant) which means it can stand up to serious fault levels without compromising safety.
• Feed-through lug connection: Simplifies wiring with both line and load lugged terminations, supports flexible installation and efficient panel integration.
• Compact and rugged frame: With approximate dimensions of 6″ height × 4.5″ width × 4.13″ depth, the FAL36015 fits into standard panel layouts while delivering reliable performance under load.
