FAL34070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL34070 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

Upgrade your electrical protection with the Schneider Electric FAL34070 70 Amp 3-Pole Circuit Breaker. Engineered for commercial and industrial use, this breaker uses thermal-magnetic trip unit technology to reliably defend your circuits from both overloads and short circuits. With a line-rated current of 70 A and a feed-through design that accepts both line and load lugs, it offers installation flexibility and dependable performance. Certified UL and CSA, and carrying the Green Premium™ label, this unit meets rigorous safety and environmental standards — making it a smart choice for demanding HVAC, lighting and critical-system applications.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines overload (thermal) and instantaneous (magnetic) protection to give you accurate and dependable circuit control.
• High fault-current handling: With a magnetic holding current around 800 A and a magnetic tripping current around 1450 A (as referenced by spec sheets) you’re getting solid protection under heavy conditions.
• Feed-through, unit-mount design: The FAL34070 is designed for easy mounting and accommodates both line and load lugs — making it adaptable for a variety of system layouts.
• Streamlined installation and maintenance: With clear lug terminations and a compact footprint (around 6.4″ H × 4.5″ W × 4.13″ D) installers can save time and space.
• Environmental & compliance edge: The Green Premium™ label signals that the unit meets stringent material and performance standards — aligning your system with modern sustainability expectations.
