FAL36050 - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

Upgrade your electrical protection with the FAL36050 circuit breaker from Schneider Electric, engineered for demanding commercial and industrial applications. This 600 V, 50 Amp, 3-pole unit uses thermal-magnetic trip technology to ensure fast, reliable response both to overloads and short-circuit conditions — giving you peace of mind that your HVAC, refrigeration system, or other critical loads are safeguarded. Built to withstand challenging environments and deliver long-term service, the FAL36050 is a smart choice when you need high-performance protection that you can count on.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Mechanism: Designed to handle both sustained overloads and instantaneous fault currents, giving an added layer of protection beyond standard breakers.
• 50 Amp Line Rating / 600 V Maximum Voltage: Flexible enough for a wide variety of systems while still offering strong capacity for heavier loads.
• 3-Pole Configuration: Ideal for three-phase systems, allowing synchronized protection of all phases and reducing imbalance risk.
• High Interrupting Capacity: With magnetic hold current at 400 A and magnetic trip at 850 A, the FAL36050 gives extra margin for short-circuit conditions.
• Simplified Installation: Unit-mount style with lug terminations for both line and load simplifies wiring and maintenance, reducing downtime and labour cost.
