FAP36020 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAP36020 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

Whether you’re managing a commercial HVAC setup or an industrial switchboard, the FAP36020 circuit breaker delivers dependable protection when it matters most. Designed by Schneider Electric, this three-pole unit is rated for 600 V and 20 A, combining thermal and magnetic trip technology to defend your system against both overloads and short-circuit events. Thanks to its 275 A magnetic hold current and 600 A magnetic trip threshold, you’ll get consistent performance in demanding environments—making the FAP36020 a go-to choice in the field.

Key Features and Benefits

• Dual protection mechanism: The integrated thermal-magnetic trip unit handles slow overloads and fast short-circuit faults, helping safeguard equipment and wiring from potential damage.
