Product FAQs

What is the modern replacement for the FAL26050?

The Square D FAL26050 is a legacy F-Frame circuit breaker. For modern panel upgrades or replacements, it is officially replaced by the PowerPacT H-Frame HDL26050.

What enclosures and panels are compatible with the FAL26050?

This unit mount breaker is designed for use in compatible Square D enclosures, switchboards, and unit-mount panelboards. It is not compatible with I-Line panelboards, which require a plug-on mounting style.

What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the FAL26050?

The factory-installed lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper wire or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire.

Can the FAL26050 be used in DC applications?

Yes, the FAL26050 is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting rating of 10kAIC at 250VDC.

How do I mount the FAL26050 circuit breaker?

The FAL26050 is a unit mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It bolts directly to the mounting pan or backplate of the enclosure or panelboard and connects via line and load side lugs.

Can I add a shunt trip or auxiliary switch to the FAL26050?

Yes, the Square D FAL series supports internal accessories, including shunt trips, auxiliary switches, and undervoltage releases. These must be properly matched to the F-Frame footprint.

What type of trip unit does the FAL26050 use?

It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit that provides long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection. The thermal and magnetic trip settings are fixed and cannot be adjusted in the field.

Does the FAL26050 have a visual trip indicator?

Yes, Square D F-Frame breakers feature a Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, the handle moves to a center position and a high-visibility red indicator appears, allowing for rapid fault identification in the panel.
