FA14020C - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FA14020C circuit breaker delivers dependable protection and consistent performance for demanding commercial and industrial electrical systems. Built to safeguard your circuits against overloads and short-circuits, this 20 A breaker uses thermal‑magnetic trip‑unit technology to ensure a reliable response when it matters most. Its compact single‑pole build lets you install it in tight panel spaces without compromising safety or functionality.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal‑Magnetic Trip Unit: The advanced trip mechanism provides dependable protection against overloads and short circuits, reacting accurately to abnormal current surges while avoiding nuisance trips under normal load conditions.
• High Fault‑Current Capacity: With a breaking capacity of 18 kA at 480Y/277 V AC, the FA14020C can safely handle high fault currents, giving you greater peace of mind in industrial environments where demand can spike unexpectedly.
• Space‑Saving Design: Measuring just 6.4 inches in height, 1.5 inches wide, and 4.13 inches deep, this breaker fits neatly into standard I‑Line panels — ideal for installations where panel real estate is limited.
• Flexible Mounting: Designed for I‑Line mounting with lug‑style line and load connections, it offers a straightforward installation process that minimizes downtime.
• Sustainably Engineered: As part of an eco‑conscious product lineup, this breaker meets strict environmental and safety standards — a smart choice for those aiming to lower hazardous materials in electrical infrastructure.
