Eaton FAZ-C0.5-3 5 A 480 V 3-Pole Circuit Breaker

Engineered for dependable protection in modern panels, the Eaton FAZ-C0.5-3 is a compact 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated at 5 A and 480 V. This precise device delivers reliable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection, making it an essential addition to panelboards and loadcenters in a variety of settings.

Why this breaker stands out

The thermal-magnetic trip unit combines two protective strategies in one compact package. Thermal protection delivers stable, repeatable performance during normal operation, while magnetic protection immediately responds to high fault currents. The result is predictable tripping behavior that helps safeguard wiring, devices, and connected loads without unnecessary trips.

Seamless integration and space efficiency

Designed for compatibility with matching OEM loadcenters and panelboards, the FAZ-C0.5-3 offers plug-and-play reliability within Eaton ecosystems and compatible third-party panels. Its compact molded case design optimizes panel space, leaving room for additional circuits and organized wiring alongside essential protection.

Ideal applications and use cases

Perfect for three-phase configurations in residential-adjacent, commercial, and light industrial environments, this breaker protects small but critical loads such as control circuits, lighting feeders, instrumentation, and starter circuits. With a 5 A rating at 480 V, it’s well-suited for circuits that require precise protection without excessive tripping during normal startup surges.
