Product FAQs
6 answersWhat does the "1212" suffix mean on the FAL340201212 circuit breaker?
The 1212 suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed auxiliary switch with 1A/1B contacts (one normally open and one normally closed).
What are the wire colors for the 1212 auxiliary switch contacts on this breaker?
For Square D legacy breakers with the 1212 suffix, the yellow wire is normally open (NO), the blue wire is normally closed (NC), and the striped wire is the common connection.
Can I install the FAL340201212 in an I-Line panelboard?
No. The FAL340201212 is a unit-mount (feed-thru) circuit breaker designed for use in Square D enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers. For an I-Line panelboard, you would need an FA or FH breaker with an I-Line mounting bracket.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy FAL340201212 circuit breaker?
The legacy F-Frame series has been replaced by the Square D PowerPact B-Frame series. When upgrading, verify panel compatibility as dimensional and mounting differences apply.
How can I visually verify if the FAL340201212 has tripped?
Square D F-Frame breakers feature a Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, the handle moves to a center position and a highly visible red indicator appears in a small window on the face of the breaker.
Does the FAL340201212 include a push-to-trip button for testing?
Yes, Square D F-Frame breakers feature a push-to-trip button that allows you to mechanically test the tripping mechanism and verify the Visi-Trip indicator is functioning properly.
