Product FAQs
7 answersWhat does the -1212 suffix mean on the Square D FAL36030-1212?
The -1212 suffix indicates that the breaker comes with a factory-installed 1A/1B auxiliary switch (part number FA11212). This allows for remote signaling of the breaker's open or closed status.
What types of equipment is the FAL36030-1212 compatible with?
This unit-mount F-frame breaker is designed for use in legacy Square D enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers that accept feed-thru lug configurations.
Is the FAL36030-1212 still manufactured, or is there a modern replacement?
The FAL series is a legacy F-frame MCCB. For modern installations or when upgrading, Schneider Electric typically recommends the PowerPact H-frame series (such as the HDL36030) paired with the appropriate auxiliary contact accessories, though panel modifications may be required.
How does the FAL36030-1212 mount into a panel?
This is a unit-mount (feed-thru) breaker, meaning it bolts directly to the mounting surface and uses lugs on both the line and load sides for wire connections, rather than plugging onto a busbar.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the FAL36030-1212?
No, this breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time (thermal) and fixed instantaneous (magnetic) trip functions. It does not offer adjustable dials for fine-tuning the trip curve.
Can the FAL36030-1212 be used in DC applications?
Yes, while primarily used in AC systems up to 600VAC, this breaker is also rated for up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC, making it suitable for specific DC control or distribution circuits.
What size wire does the FAL36030-1212 accept?
The standard lugs on this breaker accept 14 to 4 AWG copper wire or 12 to 4 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation to prevent terminal overheating.
