Q: What is the flame rating or fire rating of circuit breakers?

I Product Line: Circuit Breakers Resolution: Circuit breakers themselves do not have a specific flame rating or fire rating. They do, however, have a temperature range for storage and operation (carrying load). If a circuit breaker is exposed to flames, the temperature would be far above that of the storage or operating range, and the breaker should be replaced. Released for: Schneider Electric USA
