Product FAQs

6 answers
What enclosures or panelboards are compatible with the FAL34050?

Because it is a unit-mount circuit breaker, the FAL34050 installs directly into individual Square D enclosures or standard unit-mount switchboards. It is not designed to plug into I-Line panelboards.

Is the FAL34050 discontinued, and what is its direct replacement?

Yes, Schneider Electric has obsoleted the legacy F-frame series. For new installations or complete panel upgrades, the manufacturer recommends the PowerPacT B-frame breaker, catalog number BDL36050.

Can this molded case circuit breaker be used in DC applications?

Yes, the FAL34050 is rated for direct current systems up to 250 VDC, where it delivers a 10 kA interrupting capacity. Always consult the manufacturer guidelines for proper DC pole wiring configurations.

What does the LI designation mean for the thermal-magnetic trip unit?

The LI code indicates that the breaker provides Long-Time (L) protection against sustained electrical overloads and Instantaneous (I) protection for short circuits. Both the thermal and magnetic trip elements are fixed at the factory.

Are the lug terminals included with this circuit breaker?

Yes, the unit ships with factory-installed mechanical lugs on both the line and load sides. These terminals accept either copper or aluminum conductors, eliminating the need to purchase standard lugs separately.

What are the magnetic hold and trip current values for the 50A FAL breaker?

The fixed magnetic trip unit is factory calibrated with a 400A hold current and an 850A trip current. This calibration ensures the breaker passes temporary motor inrush currents while quickly clearing severe short circuits.
