Eaton FAZ-C13-3 - 13 A, 480 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton FAZ-C13-3 is a compact, reliable 3-pole molded case circuit breaker engineered to protect 480V, three‑phase electrical systems with precision. Rated at 13A, this device is designed for dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters, delivering consistent performance in demanding environments.

• 3-pole, 480V three-phase protection: Suited for commercial and light industrial distribution where three-phase power is the norm, ensuring coordinated protection across all phases.
• 13A (amperage) rating: Precisely sized for smaller branch circuits, helping to prevent nuisance trips while safeguarding connected equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines thermal overload protection with magnetic short-circuit protection for stable, repeatable performance under varying load conditions.
• Compact molded case design: Maximizes panel space, enabling more efficient packing in panelboards and loadcenters without sacrificing protective capabilities.
• OEM-ready compatibility: Specifically designed to be compatible with matching Eaton OEM loadcenters and panelboards for straightforward replacement and reliable integration.
• Versatile application range: Suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial installations where reliable 3‑phase protection is required.

Why this matters in real-world use:

• Protect sensitive equipment and wiring from overloads and short circuits in 480V circuits, reducing the risk of equipment damage and downtime.
• Space-efficient protection in panelboards and load centers, helping electricians and facility managers optimize installation layouts without compromising safety.
• dependable performance under fluctuating loads thanks to the thermal-magnetic trip signature, which balances safety with reduced nuisance trips.
• Simple upgrades and maintenance in systems that use Eaton components, ensuring a cohesive protection strategy across the panelboard ecosystem.

Ideal use scenarios

• 3‑phase distribution panels in light commercial spaces (retail, offices, small data rooms) with 480V systems.
• Industrial control panels and machinery feeders requiring reliable 13A branch protection on each phase.
• Replacement or upgrade of existing Eaton panel components where matching form factor and trip characteristics are essential.
