Built for 480V industrial distribution, this 15A thermal-magnetic breaker offers fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions. The device mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, providing secure phase connections without requiring separate fasteners. Delivering an 18kAIC interrupt rating at 480VAC, it includes a visual trip indicator for rapid fault identification. This legacy model transitions to the HDA36015.
Which enclosures and panelboards accept the FA34015?
This model is designed specifically for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in standard QO load centers, NQ panels, or NF panelboards.
How does the line connection differ from standard bolt-on breakers?
Instead of bolting to the panel bus with discrete fasteners, it utilizes an I-Line plug-on line side. The breaker jaws press directly onto the I-Line bus stack for a secure, fast phase connection, while the load side uses traditional mechanical lugs.
Does this breaker require a separate mounting kit for I-Line installations?
No, the FA34015 is a dedicated I-Line breaker. The integrated line-side mounting jaws are built directly into the breaker housing, allowing it to attach securely to the panel bus without aftermarket adapter kits.
What is the magnetic pickup range for this 15A thermal-magnetic breaker?
The instantaneous magnetic trip is factory fixed. It is calibrated to trigger between 275 amps and 600 amps to clear rapid short-circuit faults.
Can I adjust the thermal or magnetic trip limits on this device?
No, it features standard Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection with fixed thermal and magnetic limits. If your application requires adjustable settings, you must specify a breaker with a micrologic or adjustable electronic trip unit.
Which modern breaker replaces the obsolete FA34015?
Schneider Electric officially transitioned this legacy F-frame unit to the PowerPact B-frame series, specifically catalog number BDA36015. The PowerPact H-frame, such as catalog number HDA36015, is also a recognized upgrade path for existing I-Line panels.
Can I terminate aluminum conductors directly to the load lugs?
Yes, the factory load side lugs are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum wire. They accept 14 to 4 AWG copper or 12 to 4 AWG aluminum. Installers should apply a certified oxide inhibitor when terminating aluminum conductors.
Does this circuit breaker provide supplementary ground fault protection?
No, this unit delivers strictly thermal-magnetic overcurrent and short-circuit protection. It does not monitor for ground leakage currents and cannot serve as an Equipment Protection Device (EPD) or GFCI.

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.
