Product FAQs
9 answersHow is the BDL16040 circuit breaker mounted?
This PowerPacT B-frame breaker is a unit-mount device. It can be installed using the integrated DIN rail mounting capability or secured to a backpan with threaded fasteners.
What type of wire connections are included with the BDL16040?
This breaker comes standard with EverLink lugs on both the line and load ends. These lugs are designed to combat cable creep and maintain a durable, long-term connection without requiring periodic retightening.
Can the BDL16040 be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this 1-pole breaker is dual-rated for both AC and DC applications, supporting system voltages up to 125 VDC.
What is the short-circuit interrupting rating at 600Y/347 VAC?
While rated for 25 kA at 240 VAC, the BDL16040 provides a 14 kA interrupting capacity when applied at 600Y/347 VAC.
Is the BDL16040 rated for 100 percent continuous current?
No, this standard PowerPacT B-frame thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for 80 percent continuous current in accordance with NEC guidelines.
Can I add field-installable accessories to this PowerPacT B breaker?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame series supports a wide range of one-click, field-installable electrical accessories and auxiliaries to accommodate last-minute control panel design changes.
What safety features are built into the PowerPacT B-frame contacts?
All B-frame circuit breakers feature dual-break rotating contacts. This design reduces peak current and let-through energy during a short-circuit fault, enhancing overall equipment protection.
What does the 'L' in the BDL16040 catalog number represent?
In the Schneider Electric nomenclature, the 'L' indicates that the breaker is factory-equipped with EverLink lugs on both ends, as opposed to terminal nut connections.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on the BDL16040?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The overload and short-circuit sensing elements are factory-sealed and cannot be adjusted in the field.
