Eaton FAZ-C16-1N - 16 A, 480 V, 1-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton FAZ-C16-1N is a compact, high-performance 16A, 480V, 1-pole molded case circuit breaker crafted to protect branch circuits in panelboards and loadcenters. Built by Eaton, this device fuses space-efficiency with reliable thermal-magnetic protection, delivering predictable performance for everyday electrical loads in homes, commercial spaces, and light industrial environments.

• Space-efficient molded-case design — A slim profile that maximizes panel space and facilitates clean, organized installations with easier conductor routing.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit for dependable protection — The thermal element handles overloads with a stable, repeatable response, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous disconnection during short circuits, reducing the risk of damage and downtime.
• High-voltage, single-pole protection — Rated for 480V circuits, making it suitable for individual branch circuits in commercial or light industrial applications where higher voltage distribution is common.
• 16A rating — Precisely sized to guard loads that require a moderate current limit, helping prevent nuisance trips while safeguarding connected equipment.
• OEM panel compatibility — Designed to integrate with matching Eaton OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring consistent fit, performance, and trip characteristics across your electrical system.
• versatile application — Ideal for residential-style panel upgrades, commercial feeders, and light industrial installations where reliable 480V protection is needed.

Who this is for: electricians, facility managers, and maintenance professionals looking for a trusted, drop-in replacement or upgrade for Eaton-compatible panelboards. It’s a practical choice when you need a dependable, high-visibility breaker that won’t compromise panel layout or electrical protection in 480V systems.
