Built for demanding environments, the Square D FAL24030 is a 2-pole, 30A molded case circuit breaker from the proven F-Frame series. It utilizes fixed thermal-magnetic trip units to deliver precise long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. This unit-mount breaker integrates seamlessly into Square D enclosures, control panels, and switchboards. This legacy component is officially replaced by the PowerPact HDL26030. With a 25kAIC rating at 240VAC, it features a Visi-Trip indicator.
Is the Square D FAL24030 still being manufactured?
No, the FAL24030 is a legacy F-frame molded case circuit breaker and is no longer in active production. Replacing it with a modern Schneider Electric equivalent, such as a PowerPact B-frame or H-frame breaker, may require modifications to your panel or mounting hardware.
Can the FAL24030 be installed in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No. The FAL24030 is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It is designed to be hard-bolted into control panels, switchboards, or individual enclosures. It lacks the plug-on jaw connection required for I-Line panelboard integration.
Are the trip settings on the FAL24030 field-adjustable?
No. This breaker is built with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip functions. The long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit parameters are calibrated at the factory and cannot be adjusted by the user.
Can this breaker be used in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, the FAL24030 carries a DC rating up to 250VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity. When using it in DC applications, verify the manufacturer wiring guidelines, as you may need to wire the poles in series depending on the total system voltage.
How do you reset the FAL24030 after a fault trip?
When the breaker trips, the operating handle moves to a center position between ON and OFF. To restore power once the fault is cleared, you must first push the handle completely to the OFF position to reset the internal mechanism, then flip it to the ON position.
Can the FAL24030 be mounted horizontally in a control panel?
Yes, Square D F-frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers can be mounted vertically, horizontally, or flat. The physical mounting orientation does not negatively affect the calibration or operational performance of the trip unit.
