Overview
The Eaton FAZ-C15/3 is an industrial-grade thermal-magnetic miniature circuit breaker designed for supplementary protection in control panels and branch circuit applications. Eaton’s FAZ DIN rail mountable circuit breaker is designed for use in control panel applications. This 3-pole unit provides reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection with C Curve tripping characteristic, making it suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents.
