Built for heavy-duty applications, the Square D FA24020AB offers proven long-time and instantaneous trip functions. This 2-pole, 20A breaker utilizes an AB phase connection and mounts seamlessly into I-Line panelboards and switchboards. While the original FA series has been replaced by the PowerPacT B-frame (BDA260201), this exact match is ideal for maintaining existing infrastructure. It provides an 18 kAIC interrupt rating at 480VAC and includes the signature Visi-Trip indicator.
What does the "AB" suffix indicate on the FA24020AB circuit breaker?
The "AB" suffix specifies the phase connection for the I-Line plug-on jaws. It dictates that this 2-pole breaker will connect to the A and B phases of the panelboard bus, regardless of where it is physically positioned in the I-Line panel.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy FA24020AB?
The FA series has been superseded by the PowerPacT B-frame. The direct replacement recommended by Schneider Electric for the FA24020AB is the PowerPacT BDA260201, which maintains the 20A rating, 2-pole AB phase connection, and I-Line mounting style.
Will the FA24020AB fit in standard Square D NQ or NF panelboards?
No. The FA24020AB utilizes an I-Line plug-in connection and is strictly compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It cannot be installed in NQ, NF, QO, or Homeline panels.
Is the FA24020AB rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this thermal magnetic breaker is rated for use on 250VDC systems with a 10kAIC interrupting capacity.
Can I adjust the instantaneous trip threshold on the FA24020AB?
No, the FA24020AB has fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip elements. The long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection settings cannot be adjusted in the field.
Are the standard lugs on the FA24020AB rated for aluminum wire?
Yes, the factory-installed lugs accept both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG.

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!

As good as new
The Square D FA32100 circuit breaker (refurbished) was as good as a new breaker, without exception. There was no wear and tear or any marks at all. It was basically new. It is an excellent choice and a great product without having to pay the cost of a new breaker.
