Description

Built for industrial power distribution, the Square D FAL26070 is a 2-pole, 70A molded case circuit breaker. It features a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism that provides essential long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection against overloads and short circuits. This F-Frame breaker utilizes a unit mount design to integrate into Square D control panels. Facilities looking to upgrade can use the PowerPact H-Frame (HGL26070) as a substitute. It delivers 18 kAIC at 480VAC and is HACR rated.

Product FAQs

7 answers
What is the difference between Square D FAL, FHL, and FCL circuit breakers?

They all share the same physical F-frame size and mounting but differ in their interrupting ratings. The FAL has a standard interrupting rating, the FHL has a high interrupting rating, and the FCL has an extra-high interrupting rating.

Is the FAL26070 still manufactured, or is there a modern replacement?

The FAL series is a legacy F-frame molded case circuit breaker. Schneider Electric has transitioned to the PowerPact series, such as the B-frame, for modern replacements. Exact cross-references depend on your specific panel and mounting configuration.

Can the FAL26070 circuit breaker be reverse fed?

Yes. Standard thermal magnetic molded case circuit breakers like the FAL26070 that do not have dedicated line and load markings can be safely reverse fed for supply-side applications.

Is this circuit breaker rated for direct current (DC) applications?

Yes, the FAL26070 is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, with an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC at that voltage.

What type of wire can be used with the lugs on the FAL26070?

The factory-installed feed-thru lugs accept both copper and aluminum conductors. The acceptable wire range is 14 to 1/0 AWG for copper wire and 12 to 1/0 AWG for aluminum wire.

What equipment is the FAL26070 designed to be installed in?

This unit mount circuit breaker is designed for installation in compatible Square D enclosures, switchboards, and industrial control panels that accept legacy F-frame breakers.

What does the LI trip function code mean on this breaker?

The LI designation indicates that the thermal magnetic trip unit provides both Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection. The Long-Time function protects against sustained overloads, while the Instantaneous function protects against short circuits. Both settings are fixed on the FAL26070.
