Product FAQs
8 answersHow is the BGL26020 circuit breaker mounted in a control panel?
This unit-mount breaker features an embedded clip for quick installation onto a standard 35mm DIN rail. It can also be directly back-pan mounted using screws.
What type of wire terminals are included on the BGL26020?
The L in the catalog number indicates it comes factory-equipped with EverLink lugs on both the line and load ends. These lugs feature creep-compensating technology that maintains constant pressure on the wire, preventing loosening over time and eliminating the need for periodic retightening.
Is the Schneider Electric BGL26020 rated for 100 percent continuous operation?
No, standard PowerPacT B-frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers are rated for 80 percent continuous loading per NEC guidelines.
How does the B-frame mechanism improve short circuit protection?
PowerPacT B-frame breakers utilize dual-break rotating contacts. This design rapidly repels the contacts during a fault, extinguishing the arc early and significantly reducing peak let-through current and energy to downstream equipment.
Can field-installable accessories be added to the BGL26020?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame supports a variety of field-installable accessories, including auxiliary switches, shunt trips, and undervoltage releases. These accessories are externally visible once installed for easy verification.
Can the BGL26020 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is dual-rated for AC and DC systems, supporting up to 250VDC.
Does the BGL26020 meet international standards for exported equipment?
Yes, PowerPacT B multistandard circuit breakers carry global certifications, including UL, CSA, IEC, CCC, and EAC, making them suitable for OEM control panels built for international export.
Can this breaker be installed in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No, the BGL26020 is a unit-mount circuit breaker designed for DIN rail or back-pan mounting. It does not have the plug-on jaw connections required for I-Line panelboards.
