Product FAQs
7 answers
What is the interrupting capacity of the BGL26050 at 480V and 600V?
This G-interrupt tier breaker is rated for 35 kAIC at 480VAC and 18 kAIC at 600VAC. This is in addition to its 65 kAIC rating at 240VAC.
What type of wire terminations are included on the BGL26050?
The 'L' in the BGL26050 catalog number indicates it comes factory-equipped with EverLink lugs on both the line and load ends. These patented lugs are designed to combat cable creep and maintain a secure, long-term connection for both aluminum and copper conductors.
How is the BGL26050 circuit breaker mounted?
This unit-mount breaker features integrated DIN rail mounting, allowing it to snap directly onto a standard 35mm DIN rail. It can also be traditionally back-pan mounted using screws, providing installation flexibility for industrial control panels.
Can the BGL26050 be installed in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No, the BGL26050 is a unit-mount breaker designed for DIN rail or back-pan installation. If you need a plug-on breaker for an I-Line panelboard, you must use a PowerPacT B-frame breaker with an 'A' termination code, such as a BGA model.
How can I manually test the mechanical trip function on the BGL26050?
Like all PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers, this unit includes an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. Pressing this button manually trips the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism.
What does the 'G' signify in the BGL26050 catalog number?
In the Schneider Electric PowerPacT B-frame nomenclature, the 'G' designates the interrupting rating tier. It signifies that the breaker provides 65 kAIC at 240V, 35 kAIC at 480V, and 18 kAIC at 600V.
What is the mechanical and electrical lifecycle of the BGL26050?
PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers are designed for long operational life, featuring a mechanical durability of up to 20,000 cycles and an electrical durability of 10,000 cycles.
