FI36040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

FI36040 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric FI36040 40 Amp circuit breaker delivers dependable electrical protection for commercial and industrial systems. With its thermal-magnetic trip unit and 50 kA interrupting rating at 600 VAC, this breaker is built to handle high fault current scenarios and maintain safe operation under demanding conditions. Its I-Line connection format allows seamless integration into standard panel configurations, while a compact footprint gives you efficient use of space. Certified with the Green Premium label, this model also aligns with today’s sustainability expectations.

Key Features & Benefits

• 50 kA interrupting capacity: With the ability to clear faults up to 50 000 amps at 600 VAC, this breaker is well-suited to high-energy environments where fault currents can be extreme.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Provides dual-mode safety — thermal sensing for overloads, magnetic for short-circuits — giving comprehensive protection for your equipment and wiring.
• Universal 600 VAC rating: Designed for both low- and medium-voltage systems up to 600 VAC, so you can deploy it in a variety of facility settings without the need to step down.
• I-Line connection style: Specifically made for I-Line panel systems, the FI36040 plugs in for simpler installation and reduced labour.
• Space-efficient design: Its compact, lightweight frame means you can install more circuits per panel, optimize room layout and ease future expansions.
• Eco-certified (Green Premium): Meeting Schneider Electric’s Green Premium standard ensures the breaker is manufactured with environmental impact transparency and aligns with green infrastructure goals.
