Product FAQs

6 answers
What type of electrical distribution panels accept the FA34050 breaker?

The FA34050 is a legacy F-Frame molded case circuit breaker designed specifically for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It uses an I-Line style plug-on connection on the line side.

Is the FA34050 a legacy circuit breaker, and what is its modern equivalent?

Yes, the FA34050 is part of Square D's legacy F-Frame series. The direct modern replacement in the PowerPact series is the HDA36050, which shares the same 50A rating, 3-pole configuration, and I-Line mounting style.

How are connections made on the line and load sides of this breaker?

The line side features I-Line plug-on jaws that snap directly onto the panelboard bus. The load side comes equipped with mechanical lugs that accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum (Cu/Al) wire.

Can this 480V-rated breaker be used on lower voltage electrical systems?

Yes, it is fully rated for use on 277V, 240V, and 208V AC systems. Its interrupting capacity increases on lower voltage systems, providing up to 25kAIC at 240VAC. It is also rated for up to 10kAIC at 250VDC.

Does the FA34050 feature adjustable trip settings?

No, this is a standard thermal magnetic breaker with fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions. The trip curve parameters cannot be adjusted in the field.

What safety precautions are required when installing an I-Line breaker?

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. The panel must be completely de-energized before mounting to the bus, and the load side wire connections must be tightened to the specific torque values listed on the breaker to ensure a secure, code-compliant connection.

    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.
