Product FAQs

7 answers
What does the AB suffix indicate on the FA22070AB catalog number?

The AB suffix specifies the phase connection. It indicates that the breaker is configured to connect to the A and B phases on the bus of a Square D I-Line panelboard.

Which panelboards accept the FA22070AB circuit breaker?

This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It utilizes a specific plug-on mounting style and is not compatible with standard NQ, NF, or QO load centers.

How is the FA22070AB installed in the panel?

It uses an I-Line plug-on connection on the line side that attaches directly to the stacked bus assembly. The load side features mechanical lugs for terminating the branch circuit conductors.

What are the wire size requirements for the load side lugs?

The factory-installed mechanical lugs accept copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG.

Is the FA22070AB suitable for DC voltage applications?

Yes, in addition to its 240VAC rating, this breaker is rated for 250VDC applications with a maximum interrupting capacity of 5kAIC.

Can the trip curve be adjusted on this breaker?

No, the FA22070AB features a standard thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous trip functions. The settings cannot be modified in the field.

What is the modern PowerPact replacement for the FA22070AB?

The FA series is a legacy F-frame breaker. For modern upgrades, Schneider Electric replaces it with the PowerPact H-frame series. The direct equivalent for a 70A, 2-pole, AB-phase I-Line breaker is catalog number HDA260701.

    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.
