Eaton FAZ-B3-2 - 3 A, 480 V, 2-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton FAZ-B3-2, a 3 A, 480 V, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker engineered for dependable branch circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. Built to fit tight spaces and demanding environments, this device delivers reliable safeguarding for your 480V circuits with a compact footprint that makes installation cleaner and more efficient.

What sets the FAZ-B3-2 apart

• Space-conscious molded case design: A compact form factor that frees up panel space, making it easier to organize feeders and future circuits without compromising protection.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Provides stable, repeatable protection by combining a thermal element for gradual overloads with a magnetic element for immediate response to short circuits. This means predictable disconnection behavior you can rely on in real-world conditions.
• 2-pole protection: Simultaneously disconnects both hot legs, preserving system safety and simplifying coordination in 480V applications.
• OEM-friendly compatibility: Designed to pair with Eaton FAZ panelboards and other matching OEM loadcenters, ensuring straightforward replacement, maintenance, and long-term reliability.
• Specifications you can trust: 3A current rating at 480V, ideal for protecting smaller feeders and control circuits within residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.

Ideal use cases

• Protecting control panels, lighting feeders, and small motor circuits in 480V systems where precise current limiting is essential.
• Retrofit or replace aging breakers in existing Eaton FAZ panelboards or compatible loadcenters to restore dependable protection without redefining the electrical footprint.
• Situations where space efficiency matters—tight electrical rooms, compact cabinets, or multi-circuit enclosures benefit from the FAZ-B3-2’s streamlined design.

Why choose this 2-pole 3A breaker for your 480V setup

• Delivering targeted protection for branch circuits while maximizing panel real estate—every inch saved can improve airflow and heat management in the enclosure.
• Predictable protection performance, reducing nuisance trips and ensuring safety during fault conditions thanks to the dual-technology trip mechanism.
• Clear, compatible path for installation and future service—built to align with the Eaton FAZ series ecosystem and compatible loadscenters for a cohesive electrical system.

Practical considerations and best practices

• Verify panel compatibility with your Eaton FAZ or OEM loadcenter before installation to ensure seamless fit and performance.
• Install in accordance with electrical codes and manufacturer installation instructions, with attention to proper torque on terminals and secure mounting for reliable operation.
• Use as part of a planned protection scheme for 480V feeders, coordinating with upstream devices to manage fault currents and maintain system safety.

The Eaton FAZ-B3-2 stands out as a precise, space-efficient, and reliable choice for 480V, 2-pole protection in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. When you need consistent protection for critical circuits without sacrificing panel room, this 3A breaker from Eaton delivers the performance and compatibility you rely on.
