Eaton FAZ-D20/3N - 20 A, 480 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton FAZ-D20/3N—a compact, 20-amp, 480-volt, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. Built for steady performance in residential, commercial, and light-industrial settings, this unit is engineered to guard against overloads and short circuits with precision.

Key features that set the FAZ-D20/3N apart:

• Compact molded case design maximizes panel space, making it easier to fit into tight electrical enclosures without sacrificing protection.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection by swiftly reacting to short-circuit faults while smoothly handling varying load conditions over time.
• 3-pole, 20A, 480V rating precisely protects three-phase circuits and motor-driven equipment common in commercial and light-industrial applications.
• OEM-compatible compatibility designed to pair with matching Eaton OEM loadcenters and panelboards for a streamlined, reliable replacement or upgrade path.

Why this matters for your electrical distribution needs:

• Targeted protection for three-phase systems—safeguards motors, compressors, fans, and other 3-phase loads from damaging faults while allowing normal operation to continue uninterrupted.
• Space-efficient solution—the compact MCCB form factor frees valuable space in panelboards, enabling cleaner wiring and easier future expansions.
• Consistent performance—the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism delivers predictable response to overloads and instantaneous short-circuit events, helping to minimize downtime.
• Versatile installation context—well-suited for new builds, panel upgrades, and retrofit projects in residential, commercial, and light-industrial environments.

Ideal use scenarios

Use the FAZ-D20/3N to protect:

• Three-phase motor circuits in HVAC equipment, conveyors, and processing lines
• Distribution panels and load centers in commercial spaces requiring reliable 3-pole protection
• Branch circuits in light-industrial installations where space savings and dependable protection are critical

Practical considerations to maximize value:

• Confirm compatibility with your existing OEM panelboard to ensure smooth replacement or expansion within the FAZ family.
• Match the 20A rating to the connected branch circuit loads to optimize protection without nuisance tripping.
• Use as part of a coordinated protection strategy alongside other Eaton protection devices to create a cohesive, safe electrical distribution system.

In short, the Eaton FAZ-D20/3N is a purpose-built solution for durable, space-conscious, three-phase protection in panelboards and loadcenters. It’s the practical choice when you need reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection that won’t compromise panel layout or installation efficiency.
