Eaton FAZ-D5/2 5A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker

Meet the Eaton FAZ-D5/2 5A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker—a compact, dependable safeguard designed to protect 240-volt circuits with precision and ease. This 5-amp breaker belongs to Eaton’s FAZ family, delivering reliable overload protection while interrupting both hot legs for added safety on 240 V installations.

What it does

• Current rating: 5 A
• Poles: 2
• Voltage rating: 240 V
• Part number: FAZ-D5/2

Why this matters

The two‑pole design means both conductors in a 240 V circuit are disconnected together, reducing the risk of residual energization and enhancing safety during maintenance or fault conditions. With a 240 V rating, it’s suitable for lightweight yet essential circuits in both residential and light commercial environments. At up to 1.2 kW capacity (5 A × 240 V), it’s ideal for protecting smaller loads such as control circuits, compact motors, heating elements, or specialized lighting, where precise, reliable protection prevents damage and downtime.

Use cases and compatibility

• Small 240 V branch circuits in homes or light commercial spaces
• Control circuits and auxiliary equipment drawing up to 5 A
• Short-run protection for compact motors, heating elements, or receptacle circuits

Designed to work with Eaton panels that accept FAZ-series breakers, the FAZ-D5/2 is a straightforward replacement or retrofit option for maintaining consistent protection in your electrical system. For proper fit and code compliance, installation should be performed by a qualified electrician following local electrical standards.

Why choose the Eaton FAZ-D5/2

• Precise 5 A protection tailored for lightweight 240 V circuits
• Two-pole design ensures simultaneous disconnection of both conductors
• Part of the trusted Eaton FAZ family, offering consistent performance and reliability
