Schneider Electric FAL340205853 Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric FAL340205853 is a 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker rated for 20 A at 480 VAC, belonging to the FA/LA family (FAL34020). It delivers thermal-magnetic protection with an 18 kA short-circuit rating at 480 VAC, enabling reliable interruption of fault currents in three-phase distribution. As part of Schneider Electric’s FA/LA molded-case lineup, the device is designed for 480 V three-phase panels, switchboards, and distribution boards in commercial and light-industrial environments, and it slots into standard panelboard architectures that support FA/LA breakers. With its 20 A rating, it protects feeders and equipment such as motors, pumps, and other 3-phase loads, while enabling selective coordination when used alongside other devices in a multi-breaker arrangement. This model is commonly used where 480 VAC three-phase power is distributed to branch circuits in control panels and motor control centers, providing a reliable trip characteristic in overload and short-circuit events.
