FAL34030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL34030 - 30 Amp Circuit Breaker

Upgrade your electrical protection setup with the Schneider Electric FAL34030, a high-performance three-pole, 30 Amp molded-case circuit breaker built for demanding industrial and commercial environments. Designed to handle heavy electrical loads and fault currents with confidence, the FAL34030 features a thermal-magnetic trip unit that detects both overloads and short-circuit events, giving you dependable protection when you need it most. Engineered for flexibility and effectiveness, this circuit breaker supports a wide range of applications including HVAC systems, refrigeration, industrial machinery and commercial building power distribution. With its compact form (6.4″ H × 4.5″ W × 4.13″ D) and lug-type connections for both line and load sides, it installs easily and integrates neatly into existing panels or new builds. On the environmental front, the FAL34030 aligns with sustainable practices via Schneider’s Green Premium compliance and RoHS/REACH-aware manufacturing. All told, this is a trusted component you can count on—built to deliver safety, efficiency and long-term value.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic trip technology: offers dual-mode protection—thermal for overloads, magnetic for high-fault-current events—so your channels stay safe.
• High breaking capacity: rated for 480 V AC (and others) lets the device manage substantial fault currents without compromising performance.
• HACR-rated: for heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration loads, making it versatile across HVAC and general-purpose commercial use.
• Three-pole configuration: ensures full control across three phases (ABC), ideal for balanced three-phase power systems.
• Lug-type line and load terminals: simplify wiring and installation, supporting both copper and aluminum conductors.
