Supplying robust overcurrent protection for industrial facilities, the FCP34030 is a 3-pole, 30A molded case circuit breaker from Square D's legacy F-Frame series. Designed for bolt-on installation, it fits seamlessly into Square D panelboards and switchboards. Facilities upgrading to current-generation hardware can use the HJL36030 as a substitute. This HACR-rated breaker delivers an extra-high interrupting capacity of 65 kAIC at 480VAC, ensuring superior fault clearance.
Which electrical distribution systems are compatible with the FCP34030?
This legacy F-Frame breaker is engineered to bolt securely into compatible Square D panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It is commonly used to maintain or expand existing commercial and industrial electrical systems.
Is there a current-generation replacement for the FCP34030?
Yes, facilities upgrading to modern hardware can use the Square D PowerPact HJL36030 as a substitute. It provides the same 30A capacity and 65kAIC at 480VAC rating in a newer frame design.
What type of conductors can be terminated on the FCP34030?
The factory-installed line and load lugs are rated for both copper and aluminum (Cu/Al) conductors, accepting wire sizes between 14 AWG and 1/0 AWG.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit function on the FCP34030?
The fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit provides dual protection. The thermal component (Long-Time) responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic component (Instantaneous) trips immediately during severe short circuits.
Does this breaker require a specific mounting method?
Yes, the FCP34030 requires a bolt-on connection. It fastens directly to the busbar with screws, providing a highly secure, vibration-resistant connection suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Is the FCP34030 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
