Part of the FAZ-NA series, this 5-ampere miniature breaker delivers reliable current-limiting protection for commercial and industrial applications. It features a trip-free mechanism and visual status indicator for enhanced safety. Mounting into standard DIN rail enclosures, the unit accepts 18-6 AWG wire via box lugs. It serves as an exact substitute for the discontinued WMZT2C05 model. Rated for 10kA at 480Y/277VAC, the C-curve thermal-magnetic design handles moderate inrush currents.
What does the NA suffix in the FAZ-C5/2-NA part number indicate?
The NA suffix indicates that this miniature circuit breaker is UL 489 listed for North American branch circuit protection. Standard FAZ breakers without this suffix are typically UL 1077 supplementary protectors.
What are the trip characteristics of the C curve on this Eaton breaker?
The C curve magnetic trip point operates between 5 and 10 times the rated current. This makes it suitable for applications with medium inrush currents, such as small transformers, pilot devices, and control circuits.
Can the FAZ-C5/2-NA be used in DC applications?
Yes, this breaker is dual rated for both AC and DC applications. It supports up to 96VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10kA when wired correctly for DC circuits.
What is the recommended terminal tightening torque for this 5A breaker?
The required torque depends on the wire size used. For 18 to 12 AWG wire, torque to 21 lb-in (2.4 Nm). For 10 to 8 AWG, use 25 lb-in (2.8 Nm), and for 6 AWG wire, tighten to 36 lb-in (4.1 Nm).
Is this breaker suitable for reverse feed applications?
Yes, Eaton FAZ-NA series breakers feature a trip-free design and can be fed from either the line or load side, making them suitable for reverse feed installations in control panels.
What types of enclosures or panels is this breaker designed for?
This DIN rail mounted breaker is designed for use in industrial control panels and DIN rail enclosures. It requires a standard 35mm DIN rail for mounting.
Can I use this breaker to switch fluorescent lighting loads?
Yes, Eaton FAZ-NA breakers rated 20A and below, including this 5A model, are SWD (switching duty) rated and can be used for switching fluorescent lighting loads.
What accessories are compatible with the FAZ-C5/2-NA?
This breaker accepts field-installable accessories from the Eaton FAZ-NA line, including auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, and lockout attachments. These mount directly to the side of the breaker.
