Industrial 0240FED 40A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker

The Industrial 0240FED 40A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker is built for demanding industrial environments, delivering reliable overcurrent protection for 240-volt circuits. With a sturdy two-pole design and a 40-amp rating, it quickly isolates faults to protect motors, transformers, heaters, and other heavy equipment while minimizing downtime.

• Part Number: 0240FED
• Current rating: 40 A
• Poles: 2
• Voltage rating: 240 V
• Configuration: 2-pole for simultaneous disconnection of both lines in 240 V circuits

Why this breaker stands out

Designed to handle the rigors of industrial operation, the 0240FED delivers consistent trip performance in the face of overloads and short circuits. The two-pole configuration ensures both hot legs are interrupted together, enhancing safety and simplifying compliance for 240 V electrical systems. This makes it an ideal choice for panel boards, motor control centers, and distribution enclosures where dependable protection is essential.

Ideal use cases

• Motor drives, conveyors, and pump circuits in manufacturing and packaging lines
• Industrial heating systems and power distribution branches
• 240 V equipment in maintenance rooms, workshops, or warehouses requiring robust fault protection

How it helps you operate more safely and reliably

By interrupting both conductors on a 240 V circuit, this breaker reduces the risk of electrical shock and equipment damage during faults. It also supports safer maintenance by enabling quick isolation of power to a specific circuit, helping technicians diagnose issues without affecting other branches.

Installation and compatibility notes

Install this breaker in accordance with local electrical codes and the panel’s specifications. Ensure terminal connections are secured to recommended torque and that replacement devices on a circuit match the same or compatible ratings to maintain proper coordination and protection.
