Schneider Electric FAL-36015-13M Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric's Square D FAL36015-13M is a three‑pole molded‑case circuit breaker from the FA/FAL family, rated for 15 A and up to 600 VAC to protect three‑phase power distribution networks. The device employs a thermal‑magnetic trip mechanism to provide both overload protection and short‑circuit protection, making it suitable for use in industrial control panels, motor control centers, and distribution boards where compact, reliable protection is needed. The -13M variant denotes a packaging/version option of the FAL36015 model; as of June 30, 2023, Schneider Electric lists this reference as discontinued, with the direct replacement identified as BDL36015 for equivalent 3P, 600 VAC, 15 A protection. The FAL family is designed for line and load terminations compatible with FA/FAL frame breakers, and distributors often catalog the 36015‑13M alongside other FAL36015 family parts; given its discontinuation, buyers typically confirm compatibility with successor devices or seek NOS stock from authorized channels.
