Product FAQs
7 answers
What panelboards accept the FDA14020-3 circuit breaker?
The FDA14020-3 is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It utilizes an I-Line style plug-in connection to attach directly to the busbar.
What does the -3 suffix mean in the FDA14020-3 catalog number?
The -3 suffix indicates the breaker has a specific factory-installed phase connection for the I-Line bus. You must ensure this phase configuration aligns with the intended mounting position in your panelboard.
Can the FDA14020-3 replace older Square D F-Frame breakers?
Yes, this legacy FDA breaker is commonly used as a direct maintenance replacement for older 20A, 1-pole F-Frame I-Line breakers, such as the FA or FH series, provided the phase connection and interrupting ratings match your system requirements.
Is the FDA14020-3 suitable for direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for use in DC circuits up to 125VDC, where it provides a 10kA interrupting capacity.
What wire sizes are compatible with the load lugs on this breaker?
The load-side lugs on the FDA14020-3 accept copper or aluminum (Cu/Al) conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG.
Does the FDA14020-3 include GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker equipped with fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. It provides overload and short-circuit protection but does not offer ground fault or arc fault protection.
Do I need a separate mounting kit to install this breaker?
No separate mounting kit is required. The FDA14020-3 features an integrated I-Line plug-in jaw on the line side that mounts directly to the panelboard bus.
