Product FAQs

8 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the FA34090?

This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features a plug-on phase connection that mounts directly to the I-Line bus stack.

Is the Square D FA34090 obsolete?

Yes, the legacy F-Frame circuit breakers have been discontinued by Schneider Electric. The direct modern replacement for the FA34090 in I-Line panels is the PowerPact B-Frame series, specifically the BDA34090.

Can the FA34090 be used in DC power systems?

Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for use on DC systems up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC at 250VDC.

How does the I-Line connection work on the FA34090?

The breaker utilizes the Square D I-Line plug-on mounting system. The line-side jaws plug directly onto the panelboard bus stack, while a retaining bracket secures the breaker in place. This allows for fast installation without requiring line-side cabling.

What does the LI trip function indicate on this breaker?

The LI designation means the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection. The long-time function protects against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function trips the breaker immediately during a short circuit.

Can I use aluminum wire with the FA34090 lugs?

Yes, the factory-installed mechanical lugs accept both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors. The acceptable wire range is 14 to 1/0 AWG for copper and 12 to 1/0 AWG for aluminum.

What is the difference between the Square D FA and FH circuit breakers?

The FA frame provides standard interrupting ratings, such as 18kAIC at 480V. The FH frame is the high-interrupting version, offering up to 25kAIC at 480V for systems with higher available fault currents. Both frames share the same physical footprint and I-Line mounting.

How do I reset the FA34090 after it trips?

When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent event, the handle snaps to a center position. To reset it, you must first push the handle firmly to the OFF position to re-latch the mechanism, and then push it back to the ON position.

    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.
