Eaton FAZ-C40/2-NA 40A 2-Pole 480 V Circuit Breaker

Meet the Eaton FAZ-C40/2-NA 40A 2-Pole 480 V Circuit Breaker — a purpose-built protector for demanding industrial power runs. Crafted to reliably interrupt two hot lines in 480-volt systems, this breaker keeps feeders, motors, and control circuits safeguarded from overcurrent events with precision and speed.

Key specifications at a glance

• Current rating: 40 A
• Poles: 2
• Voltage rating: 480 V
• Part number: FAZ-C40/2-NA

Why this two-pole design matters

In a 480 V distribution setup, two-pole protection ensures both hot conductors are disconnected together, reducing the risk of fault currents and ensuring a safer, more reliable shutdown. This configuration is ideal for protecting 3-phase feeders and critical equipment where coordinated disconnection is essential for safe maintenance and operation.

Ideal use cases

• Industrial motor feeders and control panels powered by 480 V three-phase systems
• Electrical distribution panels in manufacturing, processing, HVAC, and heavy machinery environments
• Branch circuits that require rapid, reliable overcurrent protection tied to a single, unified trip

What sets it apart

The FAZ-C40/2-NA combines a robust 40 A rating with a compact two-pole form factor designed for Eaton-compatible power distribution equipment. Its straightforward protection strategy helps you minimize downtime, reduce wiring complexity, and maintain consistent electrical safety across your installation.

Practical considerations for installation and setup

• Choose this breaker for 480 V systems where two hot legs must be isolated simultaneously
• Install in compatible Eaton panels and enclosures designed for FAZ-series breakers
• Coordinate with your system’s overcurrent protection scheme to ensure the 40 A rating aligns with your load requirements

Usage tips and best practices

• Regularly inspect connections for tightness and signs of wear to maintain reliable tripping performance
• Document the part number (FAZ-C40/2-NA) in maintenance records to streamline future replacements or panel upgrades
• When replacing an existing breaker, verify that the replacement current rating and voltage match the original specifications to preserve safety and compliance

For industrial environments needing dependable, two-pole protection at 480 V, the Eaton FAZ-C40/2-NA 40A 2-Pole Circuit Breaker delivers clear protection with straightforward maintenance. Add this trusted part to your electrical arsenal and safeguard your 480 V distribution with confidence.
