Product FAQs
9 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the FA22030AC?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. Its I-Line mounting style allows it to plug directly into the bus assembly.
What does the AC suffix mean on the FA22030AC catalog number?
The AC suffix indicates the specific phase connection for the I-Line bus. This 2-pole breaker is factory-configured to connect to the A and C phases of the panelboard.
Can I install the FA22030AC in a standard QO or Homeline load center?
No. The FA22030AC features an I-Line plug-on connection and is strictly compatible with Square D I-Line industrial panelboards. It will not fit in QO, Homeline, or NQOD residential or commercial load centers.
Is the Square D FA22030AC still in active production?
The FA series is a legacy F-frame product and is no longer manufactured by Schneider Electric. However, replacement units remain available to maintain existing I-Line panels without requiring a costly full system upgrade.
What is the high-interrupting alternative to the FA series?
The FH series is the high-interrupting equivalent to the FA series. While FA breakers provide standard interrupting capacity, FH breakers offer up to 65kA at 240V for systems that experience higher fault currents.
What wire sizes are accepted by the FA22030AC lugs?
The factory-installed mechanical lugs on this breaker accept 14 AWG to 4 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
How does the I-Line mounting system secure the FA22030AC?
The breaker utilizes blow-on plug-on connectors that grip the panelboard bus. This design simplifies installation and ensures a secure connection that actually tightens its grip during short-circuit conditions.
Does the FA22030AC feature an adjustable trip unit?
No. This breaker is equipped with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. It provides non-adjustable long-time and instantaneous trip functions for standard overcurrent and short-circuit protection.
Is the FA22030AC UL listed?
Yes. Square D FA series circuit breakers are UL 489 listed and rigorously tested for endurance, temperature rise, overload, and short-circuit performance.

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.
- AHAnn H.Verified BuyerReviewingSquare D FA36100 - 100A 3 Pole Molded Case Circuit BreakerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars8/22/26Professional 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!

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.
