Schneider Electric FA22020AB Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric FA22020AB is a 2-pole molded‑case circuit breaker rated for 240 V and 20 A, part of the FA family used for 1‑phase power distribution. It provides thermal‑magnetic trip protection, automatically interrupting current on overloads or faults to safeguard wiring and connected equipment in commercial and light‑industrial electrical panels. In FA‑series installations, the 2‑pole configuration ensures both live conductors are disconnected together, delivering safe shutoff for typical 240 V branch circuits. Built with molded‑case construction for durability in electrical panels, this device is designed to plug into compatible FA panelboard architectures and works as a direct replacement for FA‑series breakers that require a 2P, 20 A, 240 V specification. The FA22020AB is commonly used to protect feeders to motors, transformers, heaters, and other 240 V loads where coordinated, fast‑acting protection is needed. As part of Schneider Electric’s legacy of Square D products, this breaker is widely specified in commercial electrical distributions and is recognized for consistent, predictable tripping characteristics within its rated voltage and current. Distinctively identified by FA22020AB, it differentiates itself from other FA‑series breakers with different amperage ratings or pole configurations.
