Built for industrial applications, the Square D FA24080BC is a 2-pole, 80A molded case circuit breaker from the legacy F-Frame series. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip functions. This unit features a Phase BC jaw configuration and mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards. For facilities upgrading infrastructure, this legacy breaker is replaced by the PowerPact HDA260803. Rated 18kAIC at 480V, it includes a Visi-Trip indicator.
What does the "BC" suffix mean in the FA24080BC catalog number?
The "BC" suffix indicates the specific phase connection for this I-Line plug-on circuit breaker. It means the breaker is factory-configured to connect to the B and C phases on the panelboard bus. If you need a different phase arrangement, you must order the corresponding suffix, such as AB or AC.
How does the FA24080BC mount into the panelboard?
It utilizes an I-Line style plug-in connection. The line side features jaws that plug directly into the panelboard bus stack, while the load side uses standard mechanical lugs for wire termination. This design allows for rapid installation in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
Do I need special lugs to use aluminum wire with the FA24080BC?
No special lugs are required for standard installations. The factory-installed lugs on this breaker are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the Square D FA24080BC?
No, this F-Frame breaker features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip elements. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection without field-adjustable dials for coordination.
Is the FA series considered a legacy breaker line?
Yes, the FA series is classified as a legacy molded case circuit breaker family by Schneider Electric. However, they remain fully compatible with existing Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards that require F-Frame breakers.

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.
