Part of the legacy F-Frame series, the Square D FAL14020 is a 1-pole, 20A molded case circuit breaker. It delivers essential long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection for commercial and industrial applications. Featuring a unit mount design, this breaker installs into Square D switchboards and control panels via standard lug terminals. For modern upgrades, this specific model is officially replaced by the PowerPacT B-Frame BDL16020. The device provides an 18kAIC rating at 277VAC.
Is the Square D FAL14020 circuit breaker still manufactured?
No, the FAL14020 is an obsolete legacy F-Frame breaker. For modern panel upgrades, it has been officially replaced by the Square D PowerPacT B-Frame series, specifically the BDL16020.
What does the 480Y/277VAC voltage rating indicate for this breaker?
This slash voltage rating means the breaker is approved for use on solidly grounded wye systems where the line-to-neutral voltage does not exceed 277V. It is not rated for use on 480V ungrounded or delta electrical systems.
How does the FAL14020 mount inside an enclosure?
This is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It secures directly to a backpan or mounting plate using screws and connects to the circuit using the provided line and load lugs, rather than plugging onto a busbar.
Can I install the FAL14020 in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No. The FAL14020 is a unit-mount breaker designed to be fastened to a backpan. It lacks the plug-on jaw connections required to mount onto I-Line busbars.
Does the FAL14020 provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No. This is a standard thermal magnetic circuit breaker that provides only long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection. It does not include ground-fault or arc-fault circuitry.
