Rated for 14 kAIC at 480Y/277V, this 3-pole 20A miniature circuit breaker is engineered for commercial and industrial motor control applications. The D-curve trip characteristic allows it to handle the significant startup inrush currents generated by motors, transformers, and highly inductive systems. Designed for seamless integration, it mounts onto standard DIN rail systems. The breaker includes a trip-free mechanism and a visual status indicator to ensure safe and reliable operation.
What applications are best suited for the D-curve trip characteristic on the FAZ-D20/3-NA?
The D-curve magnetic trip point activates at 10 to 20 times the rated current. This prevents nuisance tripping in highly inductive applications, making it ideal for motors, transformers, and power supplies with high startup inrush currents.
Is the Eaton FAZ-D20/3-NA approved for branch circuit protection?
Yes, this breaker is UL 489 listed, which qualifies it for feeder and branch circuit protection in North America. This distinguishes it from UL 1077 devices, which are only rated as supplementary protectors.
Does the FAZ-D20/3-NA include a trip-free mechanism?
Yes, the trip-free design ensures the breaker will open the circuit during an overcurrent or short-circuit event, even if the toggle handle is physically held in the ON position.
How does the visual status indicator work on this breaker?
The breaker features a color-coded indicator on the front face that provides immediate visual confirmation of the contact position. It displays red when the contacts are closed (ON) and green when they are open (OFF or tripped).
Can the FAZ-D20/3-NA be reverse fed?
Yes, power can be supplied to either the line or load side terminals. This reverse-feed capability allows for flexible wiring configurations inside control panels.
What accessories can be added to the FAZ-NA series breakers?
The FAZ-NA line supports various field-installable accessories, including auxiliary contacts, bell alarms, shunt trips, padlock hasps, and bus bar combs for multi-breaker configurations.
How does the current-limiting design benefit downstream components?
The current-limiting architecture interrupts fault currents within one-half cycle. This rapid clearing time drastically reduces peak let-through current and energy, minimizing potential thermal and magnetic damage to the protected circuit.
How much DIN rail space does the FAZ-D20/3-NA require?
This 3-pole breaker has a compact footprint, measuring 17.5 mm per pole, for a total width of 52.5 mm. This modular design saves valuable space inside high-density industrial control panels.
