Product FAQs
6 answers
What does the AC suffix mean on the FA22090AC?
The AC suffix indicates the phase connection. This breaker is factory-configured with jaws that connect specifically to the A and C phases on a Square D I-Line bus system.
Can I change the phase connection on the FA22090AC in the field?
No, the AC phase connection is factory-configured and cannot be modified in the field. If your installation requires connection to different phases, you must source the specific breaker model configured for those phases, such as the FA22090AB or FA22090BC.
Is the FA22090AC still manufactured, or is there a modern replacement?
The legacy F-frame series has been superseded by the modern PowerPact H-frame series. For a direct 90A, 2-pole I-Line replacement, the HDA260902 is the recommended upgrade for older systems.
How does the line-side connection work on the FA22090AC?
This breaker utilizes an I-Line plug-on mounting system. The line side features specialized jaws that plug directly onto the I-Line bus assembly, eliminating the need for line-side wiring. The load side uses standard mechanical lugs for wire termination.
What type of trip protection does the FA22090AC provide?
It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal element provides long-time (L) protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic element offers instantaneous (I) protection against short circuits. Both trip elements are fixed and cannot be adjusted.
Will the FA22090AC fit in a standard Square D load center?
No, this breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in QO, Homeline, NQ, or NF series panelboards that do not feature an I-Line bus.

Great company
Ordered on a Saturday evening, paid for two day shipping and it arrived on time and in perfect condition. Would 100 percent be using this company going forward, beat out pricing and shipping times for all my local supply houses. Plus the staff were great to deal with.

Professional Service
So far, so good! The circuit breaker was installed along with a new compressor for our church AC, and everything is now working well.
The company has been professional, dependable, and reputable throughout the process. I had a question after the installation, and it was answered immediately. I also appreciated that they followed up and asked for feedback to make sure the new part was working properly and that we were satisfied with the service.
It’s refreshing to deal with a company that not only has quality products but also cares about its customers after the job is completed. I would definitely recommend them!
