Eaton FAZ-Z8/2 Supplementary Protector - UL 1077
Part Number: FAZ-Z8/2
Quick Summary
The Eaton FAZ-Z8/2 supplementary protector protects automation circuits in control panels and machine assemblies. Too often, sensitive loads trip on minor surges, causing unplanned downtime and costly maintenance. UL 1077, IEC 60947-2, and CSA Std. C22.2 No.235 certifications ensure reliable protection for critical control circuits. Its compact two-pole design with standard terminals simplifies panel wiring, while a low instantaneous setting tightens protection for sensitive loads. This combination supports faster commissioning, reduces spare-part costs, and aligns with common industrial procurement workflows. Engineers gain predictable response in automation cabinets, enabling safer operation and easier compliance documentation. Designed for serviceability, it supports quick replacement and reduces maintenance downtime.

The FAZ-Z8/2 delivers 8 A protection in a compact two-pole form, offering a measurable business impact by preventing nuisance trips that disrupt production lines and cause unplanned downtime in automation environments. In practice, the device safeguards sensitive automation loads, such as PLC inputs and small motors, while maintaining clean, fast isolation when faults occur, which translates to lower energy waste and improved equipment longevity. The standard terminals streamline installation and future swaps, reducing panel wiring time and increasing maintenance efficiency during expansion or retrofits. The very low instantaneous setting, noted in the catalog notes, provides tighter protection for loads more sensitive to overcurrents, mitigating damage from brief spikes without compromising normal operation. This ensures regulatory compliance and predictable performance in control cabinets used across manufacturing lines. Compatibility with UL 1077 protected devices and IEC 60947-2 standards supports safer procurement and easier replacement planning. The Eaton FAZ-Z8/2 also benefits from a practical 1.5 in product footprint, conserving panel space while preserving access for wiring and inspection. In service, its 1-year warranty offers a clear return-on-investment pathway for maintenance budgets and long-term capital planning. Overall, this protector delivers a robust balance of protection, installation ease, and cost containment for industrial automation projects.
