Eaton FAZ-C32-3N - 32 A, 480 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Introducing the Eaton FAZ-C32-3N — a 32 A, 480 V, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Built to fit seamlessly into compatible Eaton systems, this unit brings precise protection where reliability matters most.

Space-saving, high-precision protection for demanding panel layouts

The compact molded-case design maximizes panel space, making it easier to organize wiring and leave room for future expansion. Its thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection performance, quickly differentiating between minor overloads and dangerous short circuits to open the circuit when needed—reducing wear on conductors and downstream equipment.

What sets this model apart

• Compact molded case design: efficient use of panel real estate and straightforward installation in tight spaces.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: combines heat-based overload protection with magnetic short-circuit protection for fast, predictable tripping.
• 3-pole, 480 V operation: ideal for balanced three-phase systems common in commercial and light industrial environments.
• OEM panel compatibility: designed to drop into matching Eaton load centers and panelboards for smooth coordination with other protective devices.
• Versatile applications: suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial settings where reliable circuit protection is essential.

Practical use cases

Use the FAZ-C32-3N to protect feeders and branch circuits in 480 V three-phase distribution panels. It’s well-suited for commercial spaces, light industrial facilities, and service panels where compact protection with precise trip characteristics helps maintain uptime and minimize wiring damage during faults.

Installation and maintenance tips

Install this breaker in panels rated for 480 V three-phase service and ensure you pair it with the matching OEM load center or panelboard. Follow Eaton’s installation guidelines for wiring methods and terminal torque, and keep connections clean and tight. Regular inspections and functional checks help verify continued responsiveness of the thermal-magnetic trip unit and overall protection system.
