Description
Featuring a factory-installed shunt trip, the Square D FAL24050-1021 is a 2-pole, 50A MCCB. This F-frame breaker provides thermal-magnetic protection while enabling remote tripping. It installs into standard Square D control panels and switchboards. For modern upgrades, it is replaced by the PowerPact HDL26050 (requires separate shunt trip). Rated 18kAIC at 480VAC, it ensures robust fault clearing. The unit features a common trip mechanism and is HACR rated for HVAC equipment.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhat does the -1021 suffix indicate on the FAL24050-1021 circuit breaker?
The -1021 suffix means this breaker is equipped with a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip, allowing the breaker to be tripped remotely via an external control signal.
What equipment is the FAL24050-1021 compatible with?
This unit-mount F-frame breaker is designed for use in compatible Square D enclosures, control panels, and switchboards that accept legacy FAL series breakers. It is a feed-thru breaker and does not plug onto I-Line busbars.
Is the FAL24050-1021 still actively manufactured?
The FAL series is a legacy F-frame molded case circuit breaker. Schneider Electric designates the PowerPact B-frame series as the modern replacement for F-frame applications, though a separate shunt trip accessory is required to match the -1021 functionality.
How is the FAL24050-1021 installed in a panel?
As a unit-mount breaker, it is secured directly to the backpan or mounting surface using screws. Both the line and load connections are made via the integrated feed-thru lugs.
Are the lugs on the FAL24050-1021 rated for both copper and aluminum wire?
Yes, the factory-installed lugs accept both copper (14 to 1/0 AWG) and aluminum (12 to 1/0 AWG) conductors.
