The Schneider Electric FAL36030 is a 3‑pole molded case circuit breaker from the I‑Line range, designed to provide dependable branch circuit protection in commercial and industrial power distribution systems. It features a thermal‑magnetic trip unit with a 30 A rated current and supports system voltages up to 600 V AC and 250 V DC. The breaker offers strong interrupting performance, rated at 18 kA at 480 V AC, 14 kA at 600 V AC, 25 kA at 240 V AC, and 10 kA at 250 V DC, helping protect equipment and conductors during overloads and short circuits.
Built for unit‑mount installation, the FAL36030 uses lug terminations on both line and load sides and accepts copper conductors from AWG 14 to AWG 4 (single conductor) and aluminum conductors from AWG 12 to AWG 4 (single conductor). With UL listing and CSA certification, it is a compact, panel‑ready solution for 3‑phase applications requiring a 30 A breaker in a 600 V class distribution setup.

| Website Description | Schneider Electric FAL36030 is a 3-pole, 30 A I-Line molded case circuit breaker with a thermal-magnetic trip unit, rated up to 600 V AC (and 250 V DC) for dependable branch circuit protection in industrial and commercial electrical distribution applications. |
What type of circuit breaker is this?
It is a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) with a thermal-magnetic trip unit, designed for branch circuit protection against overloads (thermal) and short circuits (magnetic).
What are the voltage, current, and pole configuration ratings?
This unit is rated 600 V AC, 30 A, and has 3 poles (3P).
What is the interrupting rating (AIC) at common voltages?
Interrupt ratings include 18 kA at 480 V AC, 25 kA at 240 V AC, and 14 kA at 600 V AC. For DC applications, it is rated 10 kA at 250 V DC.
What trip unit type does it use?
It uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit (fixed thermal and fixed magnetic characteristics).
What are the magnetic trip characteristics?
The magnetic hold current is 275 A and the magnetic tripping current is 600 A.
How is it mounted?
It is a unit-mount style breaker intended for installation in compatible equipment or panel assemblies that accept this mounting method.
What type of electrical connections does it have?
It uses lug terminations on both the line and load sides (lugs line and lugs load).
What wire sizes are supported for copper and aluminum conductors?
For copper conductors, it accepts AWG 14 to AWG 4 (one cable). For aluminum conductors, it accepts AWG 12 to AWG 4 (one cable).
What terminal type is used?
The terminal type is AL50FA.
What is the phase connection arrangement?
The phase connection is labeled ABC, indicating the intended line/load phase order marking used on the device.
What certifications does it carry?
It is UL listed and CSA certified (as indicated for this breaker family and model).
What are the overall dimensions?
Approximate dimensions are 6.4 in (H) x 4.5 in (W) x 4.13 in (D).
Is it suitable for DC systems?
Yes, it has a DC rating of 250 V DC with a 10 kA interrupt rating, which can be relevant for certain DC distribution applications (always confirm suitability within the specific system design and installation requirements).
What product range is it associated with?
It is associated with the I-Line range and is commonly referenced as an FA/LA molded case circuit breaker; the specific catalog reference is FAL36030.
- Branch circuit protection for three-phase distribution panels up to 600 VAC in industrial and commercial facilities
- Overload and short-circuit protection for feeder circuits supplying multiple downstream loads
- Protection for motor control and power circuits where thermal-magnetic trip response is preferred
- Panelboard and switchboard integration using I-Line unit-mount breaker assemblies
- DC circuit protection applications up to 250 VDC within control power and auxiliary power systems (within rated interrupting capacity)
- Machine and process equipment power protection in packaging, material handling, and general manufacturing installations
- Use as a main or sub-main protective device in compact electrical enclosures requiring a 3-pole, 30 A breaker format
- Retrofit and replacement in existing Schneider Electric I-Line breaker installations where matching electrical ratings and mounting style are required
