General Electric FAS01RW 5A 240 V Circuit Breaker

Secure dependable protection for your electrical system with the General Electric FAS01RW 5A 240 V Circuit Breaker. This GE component, identified by part number FAS01RW, delivers precise overcurrent protection for small circuits within compatible GE panels, helping to prevent wiring damage and reduce fire risk caused by faults or overloads.

• Part Number: FAS01RW
• Brand: General Electric
• Current rating: 5 A
• Voltage rating: 240 V

What makes this breaker stand out

Designed to work within GE electrical systems that require the FAS01RW style, this 5‑amp, 240‑volt circuit breaker provides a reliable, job-specific protection solution for small branch circuits. It’s engineered to trip when fault current exceeds the rated 5 A, helping protect wiring insulation and connected devices from damage in fault conditions. As part of GE’s trusted legacy, it offers compatibility with GE panels and a straightforward replacement path for upholding electrical safety standards.

Ideal use cases

This breaker is well-suited for smaller branch circuits within residential or light commercial environments that rely on GE panels supporting the FAS01RW format. Use it to guard circuits that carry modest loads where precise overcurrent protection is essential, such as dedicated low‑demand outlets, control circuits, or other small loads in a GE-equipped electrical system.

Installation and safety considerations

Install this breaker in GE panels that are designed to accept FAS01RW branch breakers. Always follow the panel manufacturer’s guidelines and local electrical codes. If you’re replacing an existing breaker, ensure the replacement matches the original part number and rating to maintain proper system protection and compatibility.

Why choose a GE circuit breaker

General Electric brings decades of engineering discipline and a cohesive ecosystem of electrical components. Using a GE FAS01RW 5A 240 V breaker helps maintain consistent electrical protection across your GE panel, reduces compatibility concerns, and supports straightforward maintenance and future replacements within the GE lineup.

Practical tips for best results

• Match the breaker's current and voltage ratings precisely to the circuit it protects—in this case, 5 A and 240 V.
• Keep a spare FAS01RW on hand for quick replacements to minimize electrical downtime.
• When upgrading or replacing, verify that the panel accepts FAS-series breakers to ensure proper fit and performance.
