Providing reliable thermal-magnetic protection, the FA26090AC is a 90A, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for 240V, 480V, and 600V commercial systems. It features an AC phase connection to accommodate specific load balancing requirements and includes the signature Visi-Trip indicator.

Product FAQs
9 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the FA26090AC?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line plug-on connection and cannot be used in standard QO or NQ load centers.
What does the AC suffix mean in the FA26090AC catalog number?
The AC suffix indicates the phase connection configuration. This specific breaker is built to connect to the A and C phases on the I-Line bus, which is critical for proper load balancing in your panelboard.
How does the FA26090AC mount into the panel?
It utilizes the Square D I-Line plug-on mounting system. The breaker snaps directly onto the I-Line bus assembly and is secured with a mounting bracket, eliminating the need for bolted bus connections.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the FA26090AC terminals?
The factory-installed lugs accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG wire. The terminals are dual-rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors.
Is the Square D FA26090AC still actively manufactured?
The FA series is a legacy F-frame breaker that has been discontinued by Schneider Electric. It is typically sourced as a direct replacement for existing installations to avoid full panel upgrades.
What is the modern replacement for the FA26090AC?
The modern equivalent is the Square D PowerPact H-frame series. Specifically, the HDA260902 is the current 2-pole, 90-amp I-Line replacement, though upgrading may require verifying panel compatibility or using different mounting hardware.
Can the FA26090AC be used in DC applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings up to 600VAC, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for 250VDC applications with a 10kA interrupting capacity.
Are the trip settings on the FA26090AC adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time (overload) and instantaneous (short-circuit) trip functions are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Does the FA26090AC include a Visi-Trip indicator?
Yes, it features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, the handle snaps to a midpoint position and a highly visible red indicator appears to help quickly identify the tripped circuit.

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.
