Eaton FAZ-C8/3 - 8 A, 480 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton FAZ-C8/3—an 8 A, 480 V, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker engineered to shield panelboards and load centers from overcurrent and short-circuit events. With a compact profile and a dependable thermal-magnetic trip, this unit fits seamlessly into 3-phase electrical setups found in commercial, light industrial, and even select residential applications.

Why this breaker stands out

• Space-efficient molded case design: minimizes panel depth and maximizes usable space without compromising protection.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: delivers stable, repeatable protection by addressing both sustained overloads (thermal) and instantaneous short circuits (magnetic) for faster fault clearance.
• 3-pole configuration for 3-phase systems: ideal for distributing 480 V three-phase power safely across equipment and circuits.
• Low-amperage protection: an 8 A rating makes it well-suited for control circuits, lighting feeders, or small motors within commercial and light industrial environments.
• OEM compatibility: designed to install with matching OEM loadcenters and panelboards, ensuring a clean fit and reliable interlock with existing protection schemes.
• Versatile installation footprint: appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where compact 3-phase protection is needed.

Ideal use cases and practical scenarios

• Protect 3-phase feeders or branch circuits in commercial electrical rooms where space is at a premium and reliable fault protection is critical.
• Upgrade or retrofit panelboards and loadcenters in retrofit projects that require a compact, compatible 3-pole device rated for 480 V.
• Control circuits and small motor loads in light industrial setups, where precise overcurrent protection minimizes nuisance trips and downtime.
• New installations in facilities that employ 480 V three-phase power, offering robust protection without sacrificing panel organization.
