Overview
The Eaton Moeller FAZ-C32 is a compact, reliable miniature circuit breaker (MCB) rated at 32 amperes with Type C tripping characteristic. Part of the Eaton xEffect industrial switchgear family, the FAZ-C32 is designed for branch circuit protection in industrial and advanced commercial applications. This DIN rail-mounted breaker combines proven Moeller engineering with modern safety standards, making it ideal for machine control panels, automation systems, and electrical distribution boards.
