Product FAQs
7 answersWhat does the C-curve trip characteristic mean for the FAZ-C16/3-NA?
The C-curve magnetic trip point operates at 5 to 10 times the 16A rated current. This makes it suitable for applications with medium inrush currents, such as small transformers, pilot devices, and control circuits.
Can the FAZ-C16/3-NA be used for branch circuit protection?
Yes. Because it is a UL 489 listed miniature circuit breaker, it is fully approved for branch circuit protection in industrial control panels and distribution boards. This distinguishes it from UL 1077 devices, which are only for supplementary protection.
Is this Eaton miniature circuit breaker rated for DC applications?
Yes, the FAZ-C16/3-NA is dual-rated for both AC and DC power. In addition to its 277/480VAC rating, it safely supports up to 48/96VDC with a 10kAIC interrupting capacity.
Does the FAZ-C16/3-NA feature a trip-free mechanism?
Yes, it utilizes a trip-free design. The breaker will trip internally during an overcurrent or short circuit event even if the operating handle is physically held in the ON position.
Is the FAZ-C16/3-NA considered a current-limiting breaker?
Yes. Its current-limiting design interrupts fault currents within one half-cycle. This fast response reduces peak let-through energy, offering superior protection for downstream circuit components.
Can this breaker be used for switching lighting loads?
Yes, the FAZ-C16/3-NA carries an SWD (Switching Duty) rating. This means it is approved for safely switching fluorescent lighting loads on a regular basis without degrading the breaker contacts.
How is the FAZ-C16/3-NA installed in a control panel?
The breaker snaps directly onto a standard 35mm DIN rail. Its box lug terminals accept 18 to 6 AWG copper wire, and the captive terminal screws are designed so they cannot be lost during installation.
