Product FAQs
6 answersWhat type of lugs are included with the BGL26040 circuit breaker?
This PowerPacT B-frame breaker comes equipped with EverLink line and load side lugs. These patented lugs are designed to combat cable creep and prevent wire loosening over time, ensuring a durable connection.
What are the interrupting ratings for the BGL26040 at 480V and 600V?
In addition to the standard 65kAIC rating at 240VAC, this G-interrupt tier breaker delivers 35kAIC at 480VAC and 18kAIC at 600Y/347VAC.
How is the BGL26040 mounted in control panels?
While it features integrated DIN rail mounting capabilities, this unit-mount breaker can also be installed using traditional back-pan mounting with screws. This provides flexible installation options for various industrial control panels.
Does the BGL26040 include a manual testing feature?
Yes, it features an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows electricians to manually trip the circuit breaker and verify the mechanical operation of the trip unit during maintenance.
What type of contact mechanism does the PowerPacT BGL26040 use?
It utilizes dual-break rotating contacts. This design reduces the amount of peak current during a short circuit fault, which limits let-through currents and enhances downstream equipment protection.
Can the BGL26040 be used in direct current applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is dual-rated for both AC and DC systems. It supports up to 250VDC, making it suitable for specialized industrial control and distribution applications.
