Designed for heavy-duty applications, this 250A extra-high interrupting breaker safeguards electrical systems against severe overcurrents. The device mounts into Square D I-Line switchboards and panelboards using a dedicated phase B-C connection. Delivering 65kAIC at 480VAC, it includes long-time and instantaneous trip functions. Facilities looking to modernize can substitute this legacy K-Frame with the newer JJA26250.

Product FAQs
7 answers
What does the "BC" suffix indicate on the KC24250BC catalog number?
The "BC" suffix specifies the phase connection for this 2-pole breaker. It is factory-configured to plug directly into the B and C phases of a Square D I-Line panelboard bus.
What is the modern replacement series for the legacy K-Frame KC24250BC?
Square D has transitioned legacy K-Frame breakers to the PowerPact J-Frame series. A PowerPact J-Frame I-Line breaker with matching 250A, 2-pole, and 65kAIC at 480V specifications serves as the direct modern upgrade.
How is the KC24250BC installed into an electrical system?
This breaker utilizes an I-Line plug-on mounting design. The line side connects directly to the busbar of a compatible Square D I-Line panelboard or switchboard, while the load side uses mechanical lugs for wire termination.

Yes, the thermal-magnetic trip unit features an adjustable instantaneous magnetic trip setting. The thermal overload protection (Long-Time) remains fixed at 250A.
Can the KC24250BC be installed in standard NQ or NF panelboards?
No. This K-Frame breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It is not compatible with NQ, NF, or QO series load centers.
