Schneider Electric FA240030BC Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric FA24030BC is a 30 A, two-pole molded-case circuit breaker in the FA I-Line family from Square D by Schneider Electric. It is configured for 480 VAC and 250 VDC applications, with line-side I-Line connections and BC phase terminals, and load-side lug terminals suitable for 14-4 AWG aluminum or copper conductors. The device uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, is 80% rated for continuous loads, and provides an interrupting rating of 25 kA at 240 V and 18 kA at 480 V. This FA 30 A circuit breaker is designed for use in industrial distribution panels that accept FA I-Line breakers, offering protection for feeders and branch circuits up to 30 A in 480 V systems. Typical applications include protection of motors, pumps, heaters, and other 480 V equipment in manufacturing, processing, and facility automation environments. The FA24030BC’s BC-phase connection designation denotes the specific terminal configuration for compatible panel boards, and its 14-4 Al/Cu conductor compatibility helps ensure versatile wiring in mixed-material installations.
