Delivering reliable overcurrent protection, the Square D FAL22030 is a 2-pole, 30A molded case circuit breaker. It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit to provide standard LI functions. This F-Frame MCCB features a unit mount configuration for integration into Square D enclosures and switchboards. It is replaced by the BDL26030, making it ideal for maintaining legacy systems. With a 10kAIC rating at 240VAC, it includes HACR certification and a Visi-Trip indicator.
Is the Square D FAL22030 circuit breaker obsolete?
Yes, the Square D F-frame series is a legacy product line that has been discontinued by Schneider Electric. Exact replacements are still sourced to keep existing panels as-built, avoiding the need for modern PowerPact retrofit adapters and bus modifications.
