Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, the Square D FA34020-1021 is a 3-pole thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker. It is designed to install into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, providing reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection. As a legacy F-Frame breaker, it is commonly replaced by the newer HDA36020SA model. Rated for 18 kAIC at 480VAC, this unit includes a factory-installed 120-240VAC shunt trip for remote tripping capabilities.
What does the "-1021" suffix indicate on the FA34020-1021 circuit breaker?
The "-1021" suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240VAC shunt trip mechanism. This allows the circuit breaker to be tripped remotely from a separate voltage source for emergency shutdowns or control system integration.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy Square D FA34020-1021?
The legacy F-Frame FA34020-1021 is replaced by the modern PowerPact H-Frame HDA36020 circuit breaker. To replicate the 120/240VAC remote trip functionality, it must be combined with an S29386 shunt trip accessory.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FA34020-1021 circuit breaker?
This breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection and is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It is not compatible with standard unit-mount or load center applications.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the lugs on the FA34020-1021?
The standard load-side lugs on this breaker accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum (Cu/Al) wire.
What type of trip unit is installed in the FA34020-1021?
This breaker features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) overcurrent protection.
Can the FA34020-1021 be used in DC applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for 250VDC applications with an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC.
