Description
Designed to accommodate remote shutdown requirements, this 60-amp thermal-magnetic breaker includes a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip accessory. The F-frame unit installs into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, providing essential long-time and instantaneous overcurrent protection. Rated for 18kAIC at 480VAC, it features a Visi-Trip indicator for rapid fault identification. For modern upgrades, this legacy model crosses over to the PowerPact HDA36060SA series.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersWhat does the -1021 suffix indicate on the FA34060-1021?
The -1021 suffix signifies that this breaker comes with a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip. This feature allows the breaker to be opened remotely using an external voltage signal, making it ideal for emergency shutdown systems or automated control.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FA34060-1021?
This breaker utilizes an I-Line style plug-in connection and is specifically designed to mount into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features a plug-on jaw design that engages directly with the panel busbar, and it is not compatible with standard QO or NQ load centers.
What wire sizes are supported by the standard lugs on this breaker?
The factory lugs on the FA34060-1021 accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper (Cu) conductors or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum (Al) conductors. Always ensure the lugs are torqued to the manufacturer specifications printed on the breaker faceplate before energizing.
Can this breaker be used in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, the FA34060-1021 is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, where it provides an interrupting rating of 10kAIC. This makes it suitable for specific industrial control or battery backup circuits requiring DC overcurrent protection.
Does the interrupting rating change depending on the system voltage?
Yes, the short-circuit interrupting rating scales with the operating voltage. It provides 25kAIC at 240VAC, 18kAIC at 480VAC, and 10kAIC at 250VDC. Always verify the available fault current at your installation point does not exceed these ratings.
Is the FA34060-1021 a current production model?
The FA series is a legacy F-frame molded case circuit breaker. While Schneider Electric has largely superseded this line with the newer PowerPact series, the FA34060-1021 remains widely used for direct replacements in existing I-Line infrastructure without requiring panel modifications.
How does the trip mechanism operate on this F-frame breaker?
It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) functions. The thermal bimetal component protects against sustained overloads, while the magnetic electromagnet component provides immediate tripping during high-level short-circuit events.
