Eaton FAZ-C0.5-1N - 5 A, 480 V, 1-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton FAZ-C0.5-1N is a compact, purpose-built 5 A, 480 V, 1-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to protect your branch circuits with dependable, repeatable performance. Built to fit seamlessly in panelboards and load centers, this unit delivers precise overcurrent protection where it matters most—without sacrificing space or reliability.

Why this breaker stands out

• Space-conscious molded case design minimizes panel depth and footprint, freeing up valuable room in tight electrical enclosures while delivering solid protection for single-pole circuits.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection—the thermal element handles gradual overloads, while the magnetic element rapidly responds to short circuits, reducing nuisance trips and protecting connected equipment.
• OEM-loadcenter compatibility is built in—engineered to pair with matching Eaton panelboards and loadcenters for straightforward upgrades, calmer installations, and code-compliant configurations.
• Versatile for multiple environments—suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where a reliable, single-pole protection solution at 480 V is required.

Ideal use cases

• Protecting a dedicated control circuit or lighting circuit within a commercial or light industrial panelboard operating at 480 V.
• Upgrading aging or undersized protection in retrofit projects where panel space is at a premium.
• Replacing failed or out-of-spec breakers in OEM loadcenters to restore consistent protection and trip behavior.
• Configuring compact electrical panels for small equipment rooms, retail spaces, or office environments that demand reliable single-pole overcurrent protection.
