FAL36090 - 90 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL36090 - 90 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need dependable electrical protection in commercial or industrial settings, the FAL36090 90 Amp Circuit Breaker delivers. This three-pole, thermal-magnetic breaker from the renowned Schneider Electric / Square D family is built for high-duty applications — rated at 90 amps and up to 600 volts AC — offering steady performance and peace of mind. With a compact footprint (just 6.4″ high × 4.5″ wide × 4.13″ deep) and lug-type line/load connections, it’s designed for both new installations and retrofits. Because it’s part of Schneider Electric’s Green Premium™ line, it not only performs well but supports environmentally conscious systems too. If your facility demands reliable overload and short-circuit protection across three-phase circuits, this breaker is an excellent choice.

Key Features & Benefits

• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Technology: Combines the slow thermal response for sustained overloads with instantaneous magnetic operation for short-circuit events—giving you precise, fast-acting protection.
• High Interrupting Capacity: With a breaking capacity rated at 14 kA at 600 V AC (and higher ratings at lower voltages) this breaker can safely interrupt large fault currents, protecting your system and equipment.
• Three-Pole Configuration: Engineered for three-phase systems, it ensures balanced load distribution and correct phase protection—and is ideal for industrial builds, manufacturing, or large commercial equipment.
• Space-Efficient Design: With unit-mount construction and compact dimensions, it fits neatly into panelboards and switchgear installations without unnecessary space waste.
• Eco-Friendly & Sustainable: As part of the Green Premium™ line, it meets stringent environmental standards (RoHS/REACH compliance) and supports companies seeking greener, more sustainable deployments.
