Schneider Electric FAL340201212 Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric’s Square D FA molded‑case circuit breaker, model FAL340201212, is a 3‑pole device rated for 480 V AC with a 20 A current rating, built for protection in industrial or commercial 480‑V distribution panels. It uses a thermal‑magnetic trip mechanism to interrupt short circuits and overloads, and it includes an integral auxiliary switch for signaling or control integration. Termination is by line and load lugs, simplifying installation in standard MCCB enclosures. The FAL340201212 variant is designed for 3‑phase circuits and, at 480 VAC, provides a robust interrupt rating typical of 18 kAIC, making it suitable for feeders or branch circuits where fast, reliable protection is needed and an auxiliary contact enhances monitoring or interlocking capabilities. As part of Schneider Electric’s FA family, this unit combines a compact MCCB footprint with dependable protection for 480 V systems, aligning with common industrial electrical criteria for safety, control signaling, and ease of integration into existing panels.
