Eaton FAZ-C2-3 - 2 A, 480 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton FAZ-C2-3—a compact, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker engineered for dependable protection in panelboards and loadcenters. With a precise 2A rating at 480V, this device is designed to guard branch circuits against overcurrent and short circuits in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.

Why the FAZ-C2-3 Stands Out

• Space-efficient architecture: The molded case design is purpose-built to maximize panel space, helping you fit more protection without expanding the enclosure footprint.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: The integrated thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable response to both gradual overloads and instantaneous short circuits, reducing nuisance trips while keeping circuits safe.
• OEM compatibility: Specifically designed to be used with matching Eaton OEM loadcenters and panelboards, ensuring reliable integration and field serviceability.
• Three-pole protection: Ideal for three-phase distribution, providing coordinated protection across all phases and minimizing imbalance risks in panel installations.

Technical Snapshot

• Manufacturer: Eaton
• Part Number: FAZ-C2-3
• Type: Thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker
• Amperage Rating: 2 A
• Voltage Rating: 480 V
• Poles: 3
• Application: Branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection

Ideal For

• Residential panelboards where compact protection is needed without sacrificing safety.
• Commercial electrical panels requiring reliable three-phase protection for lighting, receptacle, and small motor circuits.
• Light industrial installations that demand precise, repeatable trip characteristics and quick isolation during faults.

Practical Use Scenarios

• Replacing a worn or malfunctioning breaker in Eaton panelboards to restore dependable circuit protection.
• In new installations, selecting a 2A, 480V, 3-pole device to safeguard sensitive control circuits and small motors in a three-phase system.
• Configuring space-efficient protection in compact electrical rooms where panel real estate is at a premium.

How This Breaker Solves Real Problems

With a dedicated 2A rating at 480V and a robust thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, the FAZ-C2-3 delivers predictable protection tailored to your three-phase systems. Its compact form factor reduces panel depth and width requirements, helping to maximize usable space in crowded electrical rooms. Compatibility with Eaton OEM loadcenters and panelboards means fewer integration headaches and streamlined maintenance—so you spend less time on configuration and more time keeping equipment safe and productive.

Tips for Best Results

• Verify the breaker is used in a compatible Eaton panelboard to ensure correct trip characteristics and labeling.
• Pair with appropriate wiring practices for 480V three-phase circuits, including proper conductor sizing and torque on terminals per manufacturer guidelines.
• Label circuits clearly in the panel to aid quick fault isolation during maintenance or emergencies.
