FA34060 **Old Style** 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA34060  **Old Style** 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FA34060 circuit breaker delivers dependable protection for demanding commercial and industrial power systems. With a 60 amp rating and a three–pole configuration, this molded-case breaker is built to handle significant electrical loads while offering the ease of integration your installations require. The I-Line plug-in style means it installs quickly into compatible panels, and the thermal-magnetic trip unit ensures fast, accurate response to overcurrent or short-circuit conditions. Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or specifying for new installation, the FA34060 keeps your power distribution safe, efficient and ready to perform.

Key Features and Benefits

• High breaking capacity: rated at 18 kA @ 480 V AC and 25 kA @ 240 V AC, so it can manage fault currents with confidence.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: combines long-time overcurrent protection with instantaneous magnetic trip for short-circuit scenarios, giving you precise, reliable protection.
• I-Line-compatible plug-in mounting: designed for quick installation into I-Line panels, making it an efficient choice for retrofit or new builds.
• Compact footprint: at approximately 6.4 in (162.6 mm) high × 4.5 in (114.3 mm) wide × 4.13 in (104.9 mm) deep, it fits cleanly into panelboards without wasting space.
• Durable build for industrial use: crafted with quality materials and backed by the manufacturer’s commitment to lifecycle and sustainability performance.
