Eaton FAZ-K1.6/2 1.6A 2-Pole 480 V Circuit Breaker

The Eaton FAZ-K1.6/2 is a purpose-built circuit breaker designed to protect 480 V electrical systems with precision and reliability. Its 2-pole design ensures both conductors trip together, eliminating the risk of dangerous line-to-line faults and providing safer, code-compliant protection for high-voltage applications.

With a dedicated 1.6 A current rating, this device is ideal for protecting low-current control circuits, automation sensors, and small actuators within industrial panels, while avoiding nuisance trips on normal operation. Built to fit into standard electrical enclosures, the FAZ-K1.6/2 supports clean, organized protection in compact control designs.

• Part Number: FAZ-K1.6/2
• Current rating: 1.6 A
• Poles: 2
• Voltage rating: 480 V
• Brand: Eaton

Why this matters: In 480 V systems, losing the disconnect on one leg is not enough. The FAZ-K1.6/2’s two-pole mechanism guarantees both poles disengage simultaneously, protecting equipment and personnel while supporting compliance with electrical standards. The device is purpose-built for environments where precise low-current protection is required without compromising safety or panel density.

Ideal use cases include:

• Protection for 480 V control circuits in industrial machinery and automation panels
• Safeguarding small motors or actuators that operate at low current but require reliable disconnection on fault
• Panel retrofits or new builds where a compact, two-pole protection solution is needed at 480 V

Practical installation & considerations: Verify compatibility with your Eaton FAZ family panel or enclosure, ensure correct mounting for a two-pole device, and follow local electrical codes for wiring and torque specifications. This breaker is designed to integrate into mission-critical protection schemes, delivering predictable trips and straightforward reset behavior after a fault.

Choose the Eaton FAZ-K1.6/2 when you need targeted protection for low-current, high-voltage circuits—delivering dependable interrupting capability at 480 V with a compact, two-pole form factor from a trusted industrial electrical brand.
