The Square D FA12030C is a 1-Pole, 30A, 120/240V plug-in breaker from Square D's FA (I-Line) frame series, rated at 10kA interrupting capacity. The FA frame is an I-Line style breaker designed for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards — it is not a residential loadcentre breaker and is not interchangeable with QO or Homeline series breakers. It is suited for commercial and light industrial distribution applications. Send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
No — the FA12030C is an I-Line frame breaker and is not compatible with QO or Homeline residential loadcentres. It is designed for Square D I-Line panelboards used in commercial and light industrial applications. If you need a residential plug-in breaker, you'll want a QO- or HOM-series breaker instead. Contact our team and we'll point you in the right direction.
The 'C' suffix on Square D FA-frame breakers denotes the breaker's trip curve characteristic — in this case, a standard thermal-magnetic trip. This is important when replacing an existing breaker, as the suffix must match your original unit to maintain proper overcurrent coordination. If you're unsure which variant you need, share your existing breaker details or panel specs with us and we'll help confirm.
Square D FA-frame breakers are considered a legacy/obsolete product line in many configurations. Northern Breaker Group specializes in hard-to-find and obsolete breakers — we maintain stock of and actively source FA-series units for exactly this reason.
