Eaton FAZ-D6/2 - 6 A, 480 V, 1-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Eaton FAZ-D6/2 is a 6A, 480V, 1-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver reliable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. Its compact molded case construction makes efficient use of valuable panel space, so you can protect more circuits without crowding the enclosure.

The heart of this breaker is a thermal-magnetic trip unit, which provides stable, repeatable protection by combining a thermal element that responds to overloads with a magnetic element that responds to short circuits. This means quick, predictable tripping behavior when it's needed most, helping to safeguard downstream equipment and reduce downtime.

Built for seamless integration, the FAZ-D6/2 is compatible with matching OEM loadcenters and panelboards, making it a dependable drop-in replacement or upgrade for existing installations. Whether you’re outfitting a new panel or upgrading an aging distribution path, this one-pole breaker fits the bill without requiring complex rewiring.

Ideal for

• Residential panels and light commercial setups needing reliable 6A protection on 480V circuits
• Commercial lighting, small motors, and control circuits where compact form factor matters
• Industrial control panels and load centers that require robust, predictable overcurrent protection

Why this role matters for your system

Using a properly rated molded case breaker like the FAZ-D6/2 helps prevent nuisance trips and equipment damage from both overloads and short circuits. The 1-pole design is ideal for single-phase branch circuits where a straightforward, space-efficient solution is needed, while the 480V rating ensures compatibility with higher-voltage commercial and light-industrial distribution.
