Eaton FAZ-D16/3 - 16 A, 480 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

When space matters in 480V three‑phase distributions, the Eaton FAZ-D16/3 stands out as a compact, dependable solution. This 16A, 480V, 3‑pole molded case circuit breaker is engineered to deliver consistent overcurrent and short‑circuit protection for panelboards and loadcenters in commercial and light‑industrial settings.

Key features that matter in the real world

• Compact molded case design to maximize panel density and simplify retrofits without sacrificing protection.
• Thermal‑magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection across temperature variations and load conditions.
• 3‑pole configuration ideal for balanced protection in 3‑phase systems, reducing the risk of unbalanced faults.
• OEM panelboard compatibility designed to pair with matching Eaton loadcenters and panelboards for seamless replacement or upgrades.
• Rated 16A at 480V with clear branch circuit protection for commercial and light‑industrial circuits.

Why this design matters

The FAZ‑D16/3 isn’t just a breaker; it’s a designed‑for‑purpose protection device that helps keep critical systems online. The thermal‑magnetic trip unit responds quickly to overloads and short circuits, while the molded case format saves valuable enclosure space—meaning you can fit more protection where it’s needed most. With OEM compatibility, you get predictable performance and easier maintenance in facilities that rely on Eaton’s trusted electrical infrastructure.

Ideal use cases

• Protecting 3‑phase feeders and branch circuits in commercial panelboards and light‑industrial installations.
• Retrofits or replacements within Eaton‑based service entrances, switchgear, or loadcenters where a compact, reliable 3‑pole breaker is required.
• Applications demanding solid fault protection for motors, lighting, and power distribution within warehouses, retail spaces, and office complexes.
