Description
Designed with a factory-installed shunt trip, the FAL220801021 allows for remote circuit interruption in safety-critical applications. This 2-pole, 80-amp molded case circuit breaker belongs to the legacy F-Frame family, delivering thermal-magnetic protection for commercial and industrial systems. It mounts into standard Square D enclosures and switchboards, providing a 10kAIC rating at 240VAC. When upgrading, it can be replaced by the BDL26080 equipped with a compatible shunt trip kit.Specifications

Product FAQs
