Schneider Electric | FDA220305 | Circuit Breaker | 30A | 2-Pole | 240V

The Schneider Electric FDA220305 is a purpose-built circuit breaker engineered for dependable protection in 240V electrical systems. With a 30A rating and a 2-pole design, it provides simultaneous disconnection of both hot legs, delivering safer, more controlled shutdown for 240V circuits in residential, commercial, and retrofit environments.

Key benefits that matter in real-world installations:

• Clear, model-specific compatibility: FDA220305 is the exact part number you’ll reference when matching breakers to panels and assemblies—minimizing guesswork during maintenance or replacement.
• Two-pole protection: By switching both conductors at once, it protects devices and wiring from unbalanced loads and potential arc faults on 240V circuits.
• Straightforward replacement workflow: Designed for easy swap-ins in compatible panels, helping you complete maintenance or retrofits with minimal downtime.
• Standard 240V operation: Ideal for water heaters, electric ranges, HVAC equipment, and other 240V loads where reliable overcurrent protection is essential.

Specifications at a glance:

• Amperage: 30A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage: 240V
• Part number: FDA220305

Who should consider this breaker? Technicians, facility managers, and DIY homeowners undertaking electrical maintenance, retrofits, or panel upgrades where a 30A, 2-pole, 240V protection device is required. It’s particularly well-suited for replacing worn or outdated breakers in systems that rely on Schneider Electric components.

Important note for purchase decisions: confirm fit and ratings before ordering. The part number is the best reference for compatibility, ensuring you select a breaker that fits your panel’s bus, mounting style, and electrical characteristics. If you’re upgrading an existing 240V branch circuit or restoring a panel to its intended protection profile, the FDA220305 offers a reliable, brand-aligned solution that aligns with Schneider Electric’s performance standards.

Practical tips for installation and use:

• Turn off power to the panel and verify absence of voltage before handling the breaker.
• Match the FDA220305 to panels specified by Schneider Electric for two-pole 30A 240V devices to ensure proper isolation and trip characteristics.
• Keep a spare FDA220305 on hand for proactive maintenance or scheduled retrofits to minimize panel downtime.
