Product FAQs
6 answersCan the BGA160401 be installed in older Square D I-Line panelboards?
Yes, PowerPacT B-frame I-Line circuit breakers are backward compatible with existing Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. They are designed to replace legacy FA and FH series breakers while maintaining the same mounting space dimensions.
How is the load side of the BGA160401 terminated?
The load side is equipped with mechanical lugs that accept AWG 14 to AWG 2/0 aluminum or copper conductors. The line side utilizes the standard shrouded I-Line plug-on jaw connection.
Is the BGA160401 rated for 100 percent continuous duty?
No, this standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is rated for continuous application at 80 percent of its 40A rating, in accordance with standard NEC requirements.
Does this circuit breaker include a manual testing mechanism?
Yes, it includes an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows electricians to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the contacts and trip mechanism.
Which legacy circuit breakers does the PowerPacT B-frame replace?
The PowerPacT B-frame is the direct replacement for legacy Square D F-frame circuit breakers, specifically the FA and FH series. It fits the same 1.5-inch per pole width, simplifying retrofits without requiring blank fillers.
What contact mechanism is used inside the PowerPacT B-frame?
PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers are equipped with dual-break rotating contacts. This design reduces the amount of peak current during a short circuit fault, lowering let-through currents and enhancing downstream equipment protection.
