Part of the legacy F-frame series, this 60A molded case circuit breaker provides reliable long-time and instantaneous (LI) thermal-magnetic protection. It is specifically configured with an AB phase connection for proper load balancing in commercial electrical systems. Designed to mount into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, this unit serves as an exact match for existing setups. While currently replaced by the PowerPact BDA260601, it remains essential for maintaining older panels.
What does the "AB" suffix indicate on the FA22060AB circuit breaker?
The "AB" suffix specifies the factory-set phase connection. It indicates that this 2-pole breaker is configured to connect to the A and B phases on the I-Line busbar.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FA22060AB?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in standard load centers like QO or Homeline, nor will it fit in NQ or NF panelboards unless they have an I-Line section.
What protection does the LI trip function provide?
The LI designation stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The thermal long-time element protects against sustained overloads, while the magnetic instantaneous element trips the breaker immediately during a short-circuit. Both settings are fixed on this FA frame model.
How does the I-Line mounting system work for this breaker?
The FA22060AB features a plug-on line side that pushes directly onto the I-Line busbar stack. A retaining bracket secures the breaker to the panel interior, while the load side utilizes mechanical lugs for the outgoing wire connections.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy FA22060AB?
The FA frame is a legacy series. The direct modern upgrade path is the Square D PowerPacT B-series, specifically catalog number BDA260601. The BDA260601 maintains the 60A rating, 2-pole design, I-Line mounting, and AB phase connection required to replace the FA22060AB.
Is the FA22060AB rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, in addition to its standard 240VAC rating, this breaker is rated for use in DC applications up to 250VDC. It provides a 10kA interrupting capacity for both AC and DC systems.
Can I substitute the FA22060AB with an FH or FC frame breaker?
Yes, Square D FH and FC circuit breakers share the same physical F-frame dimensions and I-Line mounting as the FA series. They can be used as direct replacements, provided their higher interrupting ratings meet or exceed your system requirements.
Does the FA22060AB provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. It provides overload and short-circuit protection but does not include integrated ground fault (GFCI) or arc fault (AFCI) circuitry.

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.
