Product FAQs
9 answersWhat phase does the BJA160253 connect to on an I-Line bus?
The "3" suffix in the BJA160253 catalog number indicates it connects to the B phase of the I-Line panelboard bus. For A phase, you would need a breaker ending in 1, and for C phase, a breaker ending in 5.
Which panelboards are compatible with the BJA160253 circuit breaker?
This breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection, making it compatible with Schneider Electric and Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
What is the continuous current rating for the BJA160253?
It is standard-rated for continuous loading at 80 percent of its 25A nominal rating, per NEC requirements for standard circuit breakers.
What type of load side termination does the BJA160253 include?
It includes a factory-installed mechanical lug on the load side (OFF end) that accepts 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire. The line side (ON end) utilizes the I-Line plug-on connection.
What is the interrupting rating (AIC) of the BJA160253 at its maximum voltage?
While rated for 100kAIC at 240VAC, this J-interrupting tier 1-pole breaker provides 25kAIC at its maximum rated voltage of 600Y/347VAC.
Does the PowerPacT B-frame series feature dual-break rotating contacts?
Yes, all PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers are equipped with dual-break rotating contacts that reduce the amount of peak current during a short-circuit fault, enhancing equipment protection.
How can I manually test the tripping mechanism on the BJA160253?
All PowerPacT circuit breakers have an integral push-to-trip button located in the cover, allowing you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanism is functioning correctly.
Is the BJA160253 the same as a Square D breaker?
Yes, PowerPacT B-frame breakers are manufactured by Schneider Electric and are often branded or cross-referenced under the Square D name. The catalog number BJA160253 is identical across both brands.
Is the BJA160253 HACR rated?
Yes, PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers carry a HACR rating, making them suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
