Product FAQs
8 answersWhat type of panelboards are compatible with the BGA160403 circuit breaker?
This PowerPacT B-frame breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection, making it compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
Does the BGA160403 require a specific phase connection in the panel?
Yes. As a 1-pole I-Line circuit breaker, it is factory-configured for a specific phase connection on the I-Line bus. The "3" suffix in the BGA160403 catalog number indicates it is configured for a B-phase connection.
What legacy Square D circuit breaker does the PowerPacT BGA160403 replace?
The PowerPacT B-frame series replaces the legacy Square D FA and FH series circuit breakers. The BGA160403 can be used to upgrade or replace older 40A, 1-pole FA or FH I-Line breakers while maintaining the same mounting space dimensions.
Can the BGA160403 be used in DC applications?
Yes. PowerPacT B-frame 1-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breakers are dual-rated for AC and DC systems, with a DC rating of up to 125 Vdc.
Does the BGA160403 feature a push-to-trip button?
Yes, all PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers include an integral push-to-trip button on the cover. This allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism.
Can I install field accessories on the BGA160403?
Yes. The PowerPacT B-frame platform is designed to accept a variety of field-installable accessories, including auxiliary switches, shunt trips, and undervoltage releases, allowing you to customize the breaker for specific control panel needs.
What type of contacts does the BGA160403 use to clear faults?
It is equipped with dual-break rotating contacts. This design reduces the amount of peak current during a short circuit fault, enhancing overall equipment protection.
Is the BGA160403 rated for 100 percent continuous current?
No. Per the National Electrical Code (NEC), standard PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers like the BGA160403 are rated for 80 percent continuous loading.
