Eaton FAZ-C3-2 - 3 A, 480 V, 2-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton FAZ-C3-2 — a compact, 3A, 480V, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to safeguard your panelboards and load centers with precision. Built for dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection, this unit fits tightly spaced panels without sacrificing performance or reliability. As a trusted Eaton component, the FAZ-C3-2 delivers consistent protection in demanding commercial and light industrial environments, as well as on residential installations that require robust 480V protection.

Why the FAZ-C3-2 stands out

• Space-efficient molded case design frees up valuable panel space, helping you maximize enclosure capacity in tight installations.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection by combining overload sensing with instantaneous short-circuit protection — reducing nuisance trips and ensuring faster response to faults.
• 2-pole configuration ensures both conductors trip together, minimizing arc risk and keeping equipment safely isolated.
• OEM-loadcenter compatibility designed to pair with matching Eaton load centers and panelboards for seamless replacements and upgrades.
• Versatility across environments suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where 480V systems and reliable protection are essential.

Ideal use cases and scenarios

• Protect 480V branch circuits in commercial electrical panels and light industrial controls where space is at a premium.
• Upgrade or replace a worn breaker in OEM Eaton panelboards with a like-for-like FAZ-C3-2 for predictable performance and easy maintenance.
• Control small-to-moderate loads—such as HVAC controls, lighting feeders, and auxiliary equipment—while ensuring rapid isolation in fault conditions.
• Integrate into new installations that require a compact, reliable, two-pole solution with clear protection characteristics.

How it protects your system and how to use it

The FAZ-C3-2’s thermal-magnetic trip unit blends thermal overcurrent sensing with magnetic short-circuit detection. This combination delivers accurate protection across a range of fault scenarios, helping to prevent wiring damage, equipment failures, and fire hazards. With a 2-pole design, both hot legs disconnect together, ensuring consistent de-energization and safe maintenance practices. Its 3A rating at 480V makes it ideal for small dedicated circuits within larger industrial or commercial electrical distributions where precise current limits are essential.
