Eaton FAZ-C5/2-NA 5A 2-Pole 480 V Circuit Breaker

Meet the Eaton FAZ-C5/2-NA — a purpose-built safeguard for 480 V electrical systems. This 5 A, 2-pole circuit breaker from Eaton’s FAZ lineup delivers reliable overcurrent protection for dual conductors, helping keep equipment safe and downtime to a minimum in commercial and industrial environments. With a clear focus on protecting low-to-medium current loads in high-voltage panels, this breaker is ready to be a dependable backbone in your electrical protection strategy.

• Part Number: FAZ-C5/2-NA
• Current rating: 5 A
• Poles: 2
• Voltage rating: 480 V

Why the FAZ-C5/2-NA stands out

Designed for two-pole protection, this breaker discontinues current on both conductors simultaneously, which is essential for preventing phase-to-phase faults in 480 V circuits. The 5 A setting is ideal for safeguarding control circuits, small downstream loads, and automation components without triggering nuisance trips in normal operation. Its Eaton heritage ensures compatibility with Eaton-compatible panels and enclosures, making it a straightforward swap-in for existing installations that require a reliable, high-voltage protective device.

Practical uses and scenarios

• Control panels and automation circuits operating at 480 V where dual-line protection is required.
• Small-load protection in industrial equipment, HVAC controls, and facility infrastructure powered from high-voltage distribution.
• Emergency and standby systems where predictable, quick interruption of both hot legs is critical for safety and equipment longevity.

What to expect in operation

With a 2-pole configuration and a 480 V rating, the FAZ-C5/2-NA provides coordinated protection across both conductors, helping to minimize damage from overcurrent events. The simple, replaceable part number makes ordering and stocking straightforward for maintenance teams, ensuring your protective device aligns with your existing Eaton ecosystem.

Maintenance and compatibility tips

• Verify the 5 A rating matches the design requirements of your protected load to avoid undesired trips or insufficient protection.
• Ensure the breaker is installed in a compatible Eaton panel or enclosure designed to accept FAZ-series devices.
• Regularly inspect for signs of wear or arcing and replace promptly to maintain safe, reliable operation in high-voltage environments.
