Product FAQs

8 answers
What does the -1021 suffix indicate on the FAL34050-1021 circuit breaker?

The -1021 suffix designates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip mechanism, which allows for remote tripping of the circuit breaker.

What is the modern replacement for the legacy Square D FAL34050-1021?

The legacy F-Frame FAL34050 series is typically replaced by the modern PowerPact H-Frame series, such as the HDL36050. If your application still requires remote tripping, you must ensure the replacement breaker is ordered with a compatible 120/240VAC shunt trip accessory.

What size wire is accepted by the lugs on the FAL34050-1021?

The standard line and load lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper wire or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire.

What type of equipment is the FAL34050-1021 compatible with?

This unit-mount circuit breaker is designed for installation in compatible Square D enclosures, switchboards, and panelboards that accommodate legacy F-Frame breakers.

Can the FAL34050-1021 be used in DC applications?

Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC at that voltage.

Does the FAL34050-1021 plug directly onto a panelboard bus?

No, this is a feed-thru circuit breaker. It mounts individually and requires hardwired connections at both the line and load side lugs, rather than plugging or bolting directly onto a busbar.

Can the trip curve be adjusted on the FAL34050-1021?

No, this breaker uses a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous trip settings. It does not offer adjustable trip dials.

How is the shunt trip on the FAL34050-1021 typically utilized for safety?

The integrated 120/240VAC shunt trip allows the breaker to be opened remotely by an external voltage signal. This is commonly wired to emergency stop pushbuttons, fire suppression systems, or safety interlocks to quickly drop power to the load during an emergency.
