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

The Eaton FAZ-C3-3 is a compact, three-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch-circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. With a 3 A rating and a 480 V operating voltage, it’s built to safeguard electrical installations in a range of settings while maximizing space inside the enclosure.

Why this 3-pole, 480 V design matters

Three poles mean simultaneous disconnection of all phases, ensuring balanced protection across the system. The 480 V rating makes it a solid fit for commercial and light industrial electrical distributions, where reliable performance at higher voltages is essential. The molded case construction optimizes durability and consistency in mission-critical environments.

Thermal-magnetic trip unit for precise protection

The FAZ-C3-3 uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism that provides stable overload protection (thermal) and fast short-circuit response (magnetic). This combination reduces nuisance trips while delivering immediate interruption during fault conditions, helping protect conductors, devices, and loads in your panelboard or load center.

Key advantages you’ll notice in the field

• Space-efficient design: A compact molded case fits neatly in crowded panel spaces, enabling cleaner wiring and easier maintenance.
• Reliable, repeatable protection: The thermal-magnetic trip provides consistent performance across varying temperatures and load conditions.
• OEM-compatible pairing: Specifically designed to work with matching Eaton OEM loadcenters and panelboards, ensuring seamless integration and code-compliant installation.
• Versatile applications: Appropriate for residential dashboards, commercial electrical panels, and light industrial distribution where dependable protection is essential.

Practical use cases

Use the FAZ-C3-3 to guard branch circuits that feed lighting, outlets, HVAC controls, and small motors within a panelboard or load center. It’s ideal for upgrading or replacing aging protection devices in spaces where space is at a premium and electrical reliability is critical—from small business storefronts to maintenance rooms in office buildings and light manufacturing setups.
