Description

Engineered for robust industrial applications, the Square D FGA34030 is a 3-pole, 30A molded case circuit breaker. It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit to deliver dependable long-time and instantaneous (LI) circuit protection. This F-Frame unit mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards. As a legacy component, it requires only 3 inches of mounting space, making it ideal for replacing older units without upgrading to the wider 4.5-inch HGA36030 substitute. Rated 65kA at 240VAC.

Product FAQs

6 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the FGA34030?

This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features a plug-on phase connection on the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side.

Can I use a modern H-frame breaker to replace the legacy FGA34030?

While modern H-frame breakers (such as the HGA36030) serve as current-generation replacements, they require a 4.5-inch mounting space (1.5 inches per pole). The legacy FGA34030 uses a narrower 3-inch phase footprint (1 inch per pole). You must verify your I-Line panelboard has the physical space to accommodate the wider H-frame before upgrading.

How does the I-Line connection work on the FGA34030?

The I-Line design allows the breaker to plug directly into the panelboard bus assembly on the line side using spring-loaded jaws. This eliminates the need for line-side wiring and speeds up installation. The load side utilizes standard mechanical lugs for wire termination.

What type of trip unit is installed in the FGA34030?

This breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. It provides long-time (thermal) overload protection and instantaneous (magnetic) short-circuit protection. The trip settings are factory-fixed and cannot be adjusted in the field.

Does the interrupting capacity change depending on the system voltage?

Yes. The FGA34030 provides a 35kAIC interrupting rating on 480V and 277V AC systems. When installed in a 240V AC system, the interrupting capacity increases to 65kAIC.

What wire sizes are accepted by the load lugs on the FGA34030?

The factory-installed load lugs accept copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation as outlined on the breaker faceplate.
