Description
Engineered for industrial switchboards, the Square D FAL12030 is a 1-pole, 30A molded case circuit breaker. It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit to deliver precise long-time and instantaneous (LI) fault protection. This legacy F-Frame device is designed for unit mounting in compatible Square D enclosures and control panels. While now replaced by the PowerPact B-Frame (BDL16030), it remains a vital component for maintaining existing 120VAC systems with a 10kAIC rating.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersIs the Square D FAL12030 obsolete, and what is its replacement?
Yes, Schneider Electric has discontinued the legacy F-frame series. The FAL12030 has been superseded by the PowerPacT B-frame series, specifically catalog number BDL16030, which serves as the modern equivalent for 30A, 1-pole applications.
What are the physical dimensions of the FAL12030 breaker?
This 1-pole F-frame circuit breaker measures approximately 6.4 inches high, 1.5 inches wide, and 4.13 inches deep.
What wire gauge is compatible with the terminals on this 30A breaker?
The factory-installed line and load lugs accept copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Where can the FAL12030 be installed?
This unit-mount breaker is engineered for use in compatible Square D industrial enclosures, switchboards, and control panels designed to accommodate legacy F-frame molded case circuit breakers.
How does the FAL12030 mount into an electrical system?
This is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It does not plug onto a busbar, but instead mounts directly to the enclosure backpan and utilizes lugs for both the line and load wire connections.
What type of fault protection does the FAL12030 provide?
It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit to deliver long-time (thermal) protection against sustained overloads and instantaneous (magnetic) protection against short circuits.
