The FA22030AB is a Square D FA-frame breaker with an I-Line plug-in mounting style, designed for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards — not standard residential loadcentres. It is rated 2-pole, 30A, 240V, 10kA AIC, making it suitable for commercial and light industrial distribution panels that accept I-Line plug-in devices.
Compatibility depends on your specific panelboard model and bus rating. Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm the right fit.
No — the FA22030AB uses an I-Line plug-in mounting, which is specific to Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards used in commercial and industrial settings. It is not compatible with Square D QO or Homeline residential loadcentres, which require their own breaker families. If you're unsure which breaker fits your panel, contact our team with your panel model number.
The Square D FA-frame I-Line series has been largely superseded by newer product lines. If the FA22030AB is no longer available new, Northern Breaker Group specializes in sourcing obsolete and hard-to-find breakers — we can often locate factory-reconditioned or tested used units. Reach out to your nearest counter in Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver for current stock and lead times.
Yes — rated at 2-pole, 30A, 240V with a 10kA interrupting capacity, the FA22030AB is well suited for 240V single-phase branch circuits or feeder applications within a compatible I-Line panelboard. Always verify that the panel's available fault current does not exceed the breaker's 10kA AIC rating, and ensure installation complies with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
