Product FAQs
7 answersWhat does the 1021 suffix mean on the FAL340601021 catalog number?
The 1021 suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip accessory, allowing the breaker to be tripped remotely.
What type of equipment is the FAL340601021 designed to fit?
This F-frame molded case circuit breaker is compatible with Square D enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the FAL340601021?
The factory-installed line and load lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper wire or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Can this Square D 60A breaker be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, the FAL340601021 is rated for up to 250VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for specific direct current applications.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit function on this breaker?
The fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit provides two levels of protection. The thermal element responds to prolonged overloads (long-time protection), while the magnetic element reacts immediately to short circuits (instantaneous protection).
How is the FAL340601021 installed in a panel?
This is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It fastens directly to a mounting surface or backpan and uses lugs for both line and load connections, rather than plugging into a panelboard busbar.
Is the FAL340601021 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with compatible heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
