Eaton FAZ-C13/3 13A 3-Pole 480 V Circuit Breaker

Introducing the Eaton FAZ-C13/3 13A 3-Pole 480 V Circuit Breaker — a purpose-built solution for protecting 3-phase power systems in demanding industrial environments. With a 13 A current rating and a 480 V voltage specification, this breaker is engineered to safeguard motors, pumps, compressors, and other essential equipment from overloads and short circuits, helping minimize downtime and costly damage.

Key benefits that set the FAZ-C13/3 apart

• 3-pole protection delivers synchronized disconnection of all three phases, reducing the risk of phase imbalance and ensuring safer, more reliable shutdowns for 3‑phase equipment.
• 13 A current rating provides appropriate protection for small- to mid-size industrial loads while allowing normal operating current to pass without nuisance tripping.
• 480 V system compatibility tailored for higher-voltage, three-phase distribution common in manufacturing, processing, and commercial facilities.
• Compact, panel-friendly design optimized for installation in dense electrical panels and control cabinets without sacrificing performance.
• Part of the Eaton FAZ family offering consistent protection characteristics and straightforward replacement within compatible Eaton-rated systems.

Ideal use cases

• Motor control and protection for conveyors, fans, pumps, and compressors in industrial settings.
• Three-phase circuits in manufacturing lines where reliable interruption is critical for safety and equipment protection.
• HVAC and climate-control systems operating at 480 V that require dependable fault interruption.
• Control panels and electrical distribution rooms that demand robust overcurrent protection with a clear trip profile.

Why choose this model over alternatives

The FAZ-C13/3 brings together precise 3-pole protection with a suitable 13 A rating for many standard industrial loads, all in a design that scales with panel layouts typical of 480 V distributions. By protecting all three phases simultaneously, it minimizes the risk of partial faults that can lead to equipment stress or unsafe operating conditions. Its compatibility with the Eaton FAZ line means easier sourcing, replacement, and maintenance within existing Eaton-installed systems, helping reduce downtime during service and upgrades.

Practical guidance for installation and use

• Verify that your electrical system operates at or near 480 V and that the load currents do not exceed 13 A for continuous operation.
• Ensure the breaker is installed in a panel or enclosure rated for 480 V three-phase service and compatible with the FAZ-C13/3 form factor.
• Consult a qualified electrician to confirm proper wiring, torque specifications, and adherence to local electrical codes.
• Use this breaker for equipment where full three-phase protection is essential to prevent phase loss damage and to maintain safe operation.

With the Eaton FAZ-C13/3 13A 3-Pole 480 V Circuit Breaker, you gain reliable, purpose-built protection for critical 3-phase equipment, streamlined maintenance within the Eaton ecosystem, and the confidence that comes from a trusted name in industrial electrical protection.
