Part of the legacy F-Frame series, the FAL34070 is a 3-pole, 70A molded case circuit breaker built for commercial and industrial power distribution. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection with fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. This unit-mount breaker installs into Square D enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers. For system upgrades, note that this legacy model is replaced by the HGL36070. It features an 18 kAIC rating at 480VAC and is HACR rated.
