It provides fixed thermal-magnetic Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection with an 18kA interrupting rating at 480VAC and 25kA at 240VAC. The signature Visi-Trip indicator drops the handle to a distinct mid-position on a fault, so technicians can tell an overcurrent trip from a manual shutoff without opening the panel. Square D has superseded the F-Frame with the PowerPacT H-Frame; the HDA36070 is the modern equivalent for new installations, but the FA34070 is the direct fit for legacy service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSquare D \/ Schneider Electric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF-Frame, I-Line, Type FA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePart Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFA34070\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAmperage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70A (100A frame)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e480VAC, 480Y\/277VAC, 240VAC, 250VDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePoles\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePhase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAIC Rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25kA @ 240VAC, 18kA @ 480VAC and 480Y\/277VAC, 10kA @ 250VDC (UL 489)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMounting Style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI-Line Plug-In\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTerminal Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLugs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFor Use With\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSquare D I-Line Panelboards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTrip Technology\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThermal Magnetic (LI — Long-Time, Instantaneous)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTrip Adjustability\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed Thermal \/ Fixed Magnetic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWire Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#14 AWG – 1\/0 AWG (Cu\/Al)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSuperseded By\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSquare D PowerPacT HDA36070\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShunt Trip, Auxiliary Switch, Alarm Switch, Undervoltage Release\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStandards\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUL 489, CSA C22.2 No. 5, NEMA AB 1, HACR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eApprovals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUL, CSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConstruction Features\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHACR Rated, Visi-Trip Indicator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShipping Dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 x 9 x 9 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does FA34070 stand for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eF = F-Frame, A = I-Line plug-in with ABC phase sequence, 3 = 3 poles, 4 = 480V class, and 070 = 70 amps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the FA34070 still made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-Frame line has been discontinued by Square D in favor of the PowerPacT H-Frame.
