FAP36030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAP36030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

Upgrade your electrical system’s safety and performance with the FAP36030 from Square D (a Schneider Electric brand). Designed for 600 V operation and rated at 30 A in a 3-pole configuration, this molded-case breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit to deliver responsive protection against overloads and short circuits. Ideal for demanding commercial and light-industrial installations, the FAP36030 helps you maintain a reliable electrical infrastructure and minimize downtime. With HACR-type compatibility (heating, air-conditioning, refrigeration), it offers versatility alongside dependable performance.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Technology: Delivers quick, accurate response to abnormal currents, helping safeguard equipment and wiring from damage.
• HACR Rated: Pre-approved for HVACR (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration) systems, making it a reliable choice for those applications.
• High Voltage Compatibility: Rated to 600 V, enabling use in higher-voltage 3-phase systems where space and equipment protection matter most.
• Durable Build: Engineered to stand up to demanding commercial environments—with secure connections, solid mounting, and long service life.
• Flexible Applications: Suitable for switchboards, motor control centers, panelboards and other major installations where precision circuit protection is critical.
