Eaton FAZ-C0.5/2 0.5A 2-Pole 480 V Circuit Breaker Potential Transformer

The Eaton FAZ-C0.5/2 is a compact, two-pole circuit breaker engineered for reliable protection in 480 V electrical environments, with an integrated potential transformer that simplifies metering and monitoring. Rated at 0.5 A, this device delivers precise protection while providing a scaled voltage signal for compatible meters and control equipment, reducing wiring complexity and panel footprint.

Why the FAZ-C0.5/2 stands out

• Integrated metering capability: Built-in potential transformer delivers a monitored voltage signal to metering or monitoring devices, streamlining installation and minimizing extra components.
• Compact 2-pole design: Efficiently protects and monitors two current paths in a single, space-saving package suitable for panelboards and switchgear.
• Low current sensitivity: With a 0.5 A current rating, this unit is ideal for protection schemes that rely on precise, low-current sensing without sacrificing reliability.
• High-voltage compatibility: Explicitly rated for 480 V systems, making it a suitable choice for industrial power distribution where space and simplicity matter.
• Part Number clarity: FAZ-C0.5/2 clearly identifies the integrated transformer and current rating, helping with streamlined procurement and inventory management.

Ideal use cases

• Electrical distribution panels and switchgear where protection and metering signals need to share a single device.
• Industrial facilities and manufacturing lines requiring compact protection plus direct sensing for energy management systems.
• Control panels that benefit from reduced wiring and simpler integration with remote monitoring relays and meters.

What problems it solves

• Eliminates the need for separate potential transformers in many metering configurations, reducing wiring steps and potential connection errors.
• Delivers a dependable overcurrent protection function while supplying a safe, proportional voltage signal for monitoring equipment, easing integration with building or plant energy management systems.
• Conserves panel space by combining protection and sensing into a single, manufacturer-designed unit.
