Product FAQs

5 answers
How does the FAL22070 mount in a panelboard?

The FAL22070 is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It requires bolt-on mounting hardware and does not plug onto an I-Line bus.

Is the Square D FAL22070 circuit breaker obsolete?

Yes, the Square D F-frame series is a legacy product and has been discontinued by Schneider Electric. For new installations, it is typically replaced by the modern PowerPact B-frame series, though exact retrofits depend on your existing panelboard and mounting hardware.

Can the FAL22070 be used in DC electrical systems?

Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with a 5kA interrupting capacity. This makes it suitable for specific direct current applications alongside standard AC systems.

What type of wire can be used with the FAL22070 lugs?

The FAL22070 comes standard with mechanical lugs that accept both copper and aluminum conductors. The acceptable wire range is 14 to 1/0 AWG for copper and 12 to 1/0 AWG for aluminum. Always verify local codes and apply the manufacturer specified torque during termination.

Which enclosures are compatible with the FAL22070 breaker?

This breaker is designed for use in standard Square D enclosures, switchboards, and panelboards that accept unit-mount F-frame breakers. It is not compatible with I-Line plug-on panels.
