Product FAQs
6 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the BGA260402 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line style plug-on connection for the line side and mechanical lugs for the load side.
Can the BGA260402 replace older Square D F-frame breakers?
Yes. The PowerPacT B-frame series is the direct replacement for legacy Square D FA and FH series circuit breakers. It maintains the same 1.5-inch per pole width to fit existing I-Line panelboard spaces without requiring modifications or blank fillers.
What does the G in the BGA260402 catalog number indicate?
The G designates the interrupting rating tier within the PowerPacT B-frame family. For this breaker, it indicates a maximum interrupting capacity of 65 kA at 240VAC, 35 kA at 480VAC, and 18 kA at 600Y/347VAC.
Is the BGA260402 suitable for use on a 600V ungrounded delta system?
No. The 600Y/347VAC designation is a slash rating, meaning it is only approved for solidly grounded wye systems where the line-to-ground voltage does not exceed 347V. However, it carries a straight 480VAC rating, making it suitable for both wye and delta 480V systems.
What wire sizes are accepted by the load lugs on the BGA260402?
The factory-installed load lugs accept aluminum or copper wire ranging from 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG.
Is the trip unit on the BGA260402 adjustable?
No. This breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit providing long-time and instantaneous protection. The 40A rating cannot be adjusted in the field.
