FAP36035 - 35 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAP36035 - 35 Amp Circuit Breaker

Harness the dependable protection of the FAP36035 circuit breaker — a three-pole, 35 A, 600 V molded-case unit from the proven FAP Series that delivers high-performance electrical safeguarding in commercial and industrial settings. With thermal-magnetic trip technology, this breaker is engineered to respond precisely to both overloads and short-circuit conditions, giving you the assurance your system needs. Whether you’re outfitting an HVAC panel, a manufacturing line, or a large-scale service distribution system, the FAP36035 stands ready to keep your equipment safe and operational.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Unit Technology: Provides accurate protection by combining long-time (thermal) and instantaneous (magnetic) responses so your system is shielded from both slow overloads and rapid fault currents.
• High Interrupting Capacity: Rated for interrupting fault currents of up to 18 kA at 480 V (with bolted-on connections) which means this breaker can cope with major fault events without failing.
• Bolt-On Mounting (F Frame, FAP Series): Simplifies chassis installation and provides a compact footprint, which helps reduce overall panel size and installation time.
• HACR Ratings Compatible: Suitable for Heating, Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration (HACR) loads, making it a flexible choice across many applications.
• Streamlines Maintenance: Clearly marked connections and straightforward mounting allow faster servicing, which means less downtime when you need to access or replace the breaker.
• Trusted Brand Pedigree: Manufactured by Square D (a brand under Schneider Electric), a recognised name in electrical solutions — you’re backed by decades of experience in protective equipment.
