Square D FAL24020 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

Square D by Schneider Electric’s FAL24020 Molded Case Circuit Breaker is a 2-pole, 20-amp device rated for 480 VAC service, designed to provide overcurrent protection in commercial and light industrial distribution panels. This 2‑pole molded‑case breaker uses a thermal‑magnetic trip mechanism and offers an 18,000-amp interrupting capacity at 480 VAC, enabling safe interruption of fault currents in typical feeder or branch circuits. The FAL24020 is rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 40°C, and the unit is configured for feed‑through applications, where incoming and outgoing conductors are routed through the same enclosure. As part of Square D’s FAL family of molded‑case breakers, it delivers compact, reliable protection for circuits up to 20 A at 480 V in systems that require robust fault‑current handling. When selecting a replacement, ensure the panel accepts Square D molded‑case breakers in the FAL family and that wiring terminations match the device’s lug configuration.
