Product FAQs
8 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the BGA260251 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D and Schneider Electric I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It is not compatible with standard load centers or other brands.
Can the PowerPacT BGA260251 replace older legacy breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame series replaces legacy Square D FA and FH series F-frame circuit breakers. It maintains the same 1.5 inch per pole width, allowing for direct substitution in existing I-Line panelboards without requiring blank fillers.
What does the 1 at the end of the BGA260251 catalog number signify?
The 1 indicates that this 2-pole breaker is configured for an AB phase connection on the I-Line bus.
What is the interrupting rating of this breaker at 480V and 600V?
While the spec table lists 65kAIC at 240VAC, the G interrupting class of this PowerPacT B breaker also provides a 35kAIC rating at 480VAC and an 18kAIC rating at 600Y/347VAC.
How is the BGA260251 connected to the power supply and load?
It features an I-Line style plug-in connection on the line side for quick installation onto the panelboard bus, and mechanical lugs on the load side that accept 14 to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
Is the BGA260251 rated for 100 percent continuous duty?
No, this is a standard rated circuit breaker. Per the National Electrical Code, it is designed to be applied continuously at up to 80 percent of its 25 amp rating.
Does this breaker feature a push-to-trip button?
Yes, all PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers include an integral push-to-trip button on the cover, allowing you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanism is functioning correctly.
What type of contact mechanism does the PowerPacT B-frame use?
It utilizes a dual break rotating contact mechanism. This design rapidly repels the contacts during a short circuit, reducing peak let-through current and enhancing overall equipment protection.
