FC34060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

FC34060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FC34060 by Schneider Electric (under the Square D brand) is a high-performance, industrial-grade thermal-magnetic molded-case circuit breaker designed to deliver reliable protection for demanding electrical systems. With its 3-pole configuration and 60 A current rating, this breaker is engineered to safeguard your equipment whether it’s installed in panelboards, switchboards or bus-plug units. Built for heavy use, the FC34060 gives your operations the kind of dependable protection professionals expect—without compromising on flexibility or ease of integration.

Key Features and Benefits

• Impressive Interrupting Capacity: Rated at 65 kA at 480 V AC and 100 kA at 240 V AC, the FC34060 can handle severe fault conditions, giving your system one less thing to worry about.
• Thermal-Magnetic Trip Mechanism: Combines protection for prolonged over-current (thermal) and instantaneous fault (magnetic) events, offering a full spectrum of protection in one device.
• Rugged Molded-Case Construction: Designed to withstand tough industrial environments and maintain consistent performance over time, even when conditions get rough.
• Versatile Installation Options: Compatible with I-Line panelboards and HACR (Heating, Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration) applications, making it suitable across multiple uses and setups.

Where It Works Best

• If your facility runs heavy-duty machinery, HVAC systems, switchboards or panelboard assemblies where fault currents and overloads are a real possibility, the FC34060 is an excellent choice. It’s ideally suited for industrial enclosures, manufacturing plants, large-scale mechanical rooms, or any environment where you need reliable circuit protection without guesswork. Because it adapts easily to I-Line panelboards and HACR loads, it fits mixed-application sites where flexibility matters as much as power.
