Engineered for industrial applications, the Square D FAL24080 is a 2-pole, 80A molded case circuit breaker featuring fixed thermal-magnetic (LI) trip elements. This unit-mount MCCB installs into compatible Square D enclosures and switchboards. As a legacy F-Frame device, it can be replaced by the modern PowerPacT H-Frame (HGL26080). Rated 18kAIC at 480VAC, it handles demanding environments and includes a Visi-Trip indicator for quick fault identification.
What enclosures and panels are compatible with the FAL24080?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for use in compatible Square D enclosures, switchboards, and panelboards. It is not compatible with I-Line panels, which require plug-on jaw connections.
What is the modern replacement for the Square D FAL24080?
The FAL24080 is a legacy F-frame circuit breaker. Schneider Electric now recommends the PowerPact B-frame or H-frame series as the modern equivalent for F-frame applications. Verify your panel's mounting and space requirements before upgrading.
Can the FAL24080 be reverse fed?
Yes. Because this thermal-magnetic breaker does not have Line and Load markings, it is suitable for reverse feeding in applications where back-feeding is permitted by local electrical codes.
Are the lugs on the FAL24080 replaceable?
Yes. The standard AL100FA mechanical lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire. If your installation requires different wire sizes or materials, compatible replacement lug kits are available for Square D F-frame breakers.
What does the LI trip function mean on this breaker?
The LI designation indicates that the breaker provides Long-Time (thermal) and Instantaneous (magnetic) trip functions. This fixed thermal-magnetic mechanism protects against both sustained overloads and sudden short circuits.
