Product FAQs

8 answers
What does the "AC" suffix indicate on the FA24090AC catalog number?

The "AC" suffix specifies the phase connection for the I-Line bus. This 2-pole breaker is factory-configured to connect to the A and C phases within a Square D I-Line panelboard or switchboard.

What is the modern replacement for the legacy FA24090AC?

The FA24090AC is an obsolete F-Frame breaker. Schneider Electric recommends the PowerPacT B-Frame BDA260902 as the direct replacement for new installations or upgrades in I-Line panelboards.

Can the trip settings be adjusted on the FA24090AC?

No, this breaker features a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit trip functions are factory-set and cannot be modified in the field.

How does the FA24090AC mount into the electrical panel?

It features an I-Line style plug-in connection on the line side, allowing it to mount directly onto the bus assembly of compatible Square D I-Line panelboards. The load side utilizes standard mechanical lugs for wire termination.

Is the FA24090AC suitable for DC voltage applications?

Yes, alongside its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for 250VDC with a 10 kAIC interrupting capacity. This makes it viable for specific industrial DC control circuits and battery systems.

Can I install the FA24090AC in a standard QO or Homeline load center?

No, this F-Frame molded case circuit breaker is exclusively designed for industrial Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It is not physically compatible with residential QO or Homeline enclosures.

What wire sizes are compatible with the load lugs on the FA24090AC?

The factory-installed load lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper wire or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire. Always torque the lug screws to the exact specifications printed on the breaker faceplate to ensure a secure connection.

What should I do if my system requires a higher interrupting rating than the FA24090AC provides?

The FA24090AC provides a standard 18 kAIC rating at 480VAC. If your fault current calculations require a higher interrupting capacity, you must upgrade to a high-interrupting FH-Frame or a modern PowerPacT equivalent rated for your specific system requirements.

    Great company

    Ordered on a Saturday evening, paid for two day shipping and it arrived on time and in perfect condition. Would 100 percent be using this company going forward, beat out pricing and shipping times for all my local supply houses. Plus the staff were great to deal with.

    Professional Service

    So far, so good! The circuit breaker was installed along with a new compressor for our church AC, and everything is now working well.

    The company has been professional, dependable, and reputable throughout the process. I had a question after the installation, and it was answered immediately. I also appreciated that they followed up and asked for feedback to make sure the new part was working properly and that we were satisfied with the service.

    It’s refreshing to deal with a company that not only has quality products but also cares about its customers after the job is completed. I would definitely recommend them!

    As good as new

    The Square D FA32100 circuit breaker (refurbished) was as good as a new breaker, without exception. There was no wear and tear or any marks at all. It was basically new. It is an excellent choice and a great product without having to pay the cost of a new breaker.
