Eaton FAZ-D6/3 - 6 A, 480 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton FAZ-D6/3 is a 6A, 480V, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. Its compact molded-case design makes efficient use of valuable panel space, while the integrated thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection performance for everyday electrical load conditions.

• Compact molded-case design maximizes panel space and fits neatly into standard Eaton OEM loadcenters and panelboards.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit combines overload protection with fast magnetic action for short circuits, reducing nuisance trips and improving reliability.
• 3-pole configuration ensures simultaneous disconnection of all phases, enhancing safety and maintaining proper phase balance in 480V systems.
• 480V rating supports typical residential, commercial, and light industrial three-phase distribution environments.
• OEM compatibility designed to align with matching Eaton loadcenters and panelboards for straightforward installation and coordinated performance.

Ideal applications and use cases: Use the Eaton FAZ-D6/3 in panelboards and loadcenters where compact protection for 3-phase circuits is needed. It’s well-suited for protecting branch circuits that supply lighting, control equipment, and small loads in commercial spaces or light industrial environments operating at 480V. Its 6A rating is particularly appropriate for low-current feeders or control circuits within a larger 3-phase distribution system.
