Part of the FAZ series, the Eaton FAZ-B8/2-NA is a 2-pole, 8A miniature circuit breaker designed for commercial and industrial applications. This current-limiting breaker mounts onto standard 35mm DIN rail systems, making it ideal for industrial control panels. It features box lug terminals that accept 18-6 AWG wiring. Rated at 10 kAIC for 480Y/277VAC systems, this UL 489 listed breaker includes a visual trip indicator, a trip-free mechanism, and reverse feed capabilities.
What is the trip curve characteristic of the FAZ-B8/2-NA?
This breaker features a B-curve trip characteristic, meaning it trips instantaneously at 3 to 5 times the rated current. It is designed for resistive or slightly inductive loads where low levels of inrush current are expected.
Is the Eaton FAZ-B8/2-NA rated for branch circuit protection?
Yes, the FAZ-NA series is UL 489 listed, making it suitable for primary branch circuit protection in North America, unlike UL 1077 supplementary protectors.
What type of mounting does the FAZ-B8/2-NA require?
It mounts directly onto a standard 35mm DIN rail, making it ideal for high-density industrial control panels and automation equipment.
What wire sizes are compatible with the terminals on this 8A breaker?
The box lug terminals accept 18 to 6 AWG for a single wire installation, or 18 to 10 AWG when connecting two wires.
Does the FAZ-B8/2-NA feature a current-limiting design?
Yes, it is a current-limiting breaker. It interrupts fault currents within one half-cycle, reducing the peak let-through energy that can damage downstream circuit components.
Can this 2-pole breaker be used in DC applications?
Yes, the FAZ-B8/2-NA is dual-rated for AC and DC systems. It is rated for up to 96 VDC with a 10 kA interrupting capacity.
Does this breaker have a trip-free mechanism?
Yes, it features a trip-free design. The breaker will still trip during an overcurrent or short-circuit event even if the handle is physically held in the ON position.
Can power be fed from either direction on the FAZ-B8/2-NA?
Yes, this breaker supports reverse feed. Power can be supplied to either the line or load side terminals without affecting its protective functions.
