Product FAQs
8 answersCan the BJA160255 be used to replace older Square D breakers?
Yes, PowerPacT B-frame I-Line breakers are designed to replace legacy Square D FA and FH series molded case circuit breakers. They maintain the same mounting space dimensions to simplify retrofits in existing I-Line panelboards.
Which phase is the BJA160255 designed to connect to in an I-Line panel?
The last digit of the catalog number indicates the specific phase connection for I-Line panelboards. The BJA160255 is configured with a C-phase connection. For A-phase or B-phase connections, different catalog numbers (such as BJA160251 or BJA160253) are required.
How is the BJA160255 installed into the panel?
It utilizes the Square D I-Line plug-on connection system. The breaker snaps directly onto the panelboard bus stack using a single-pole plug-on jaw, requiring no additional mounting hardware or back-pan screws.
Can auxiliary switches or shunt trips be added to this breaker?
Yes, PowerPacT B-frame breakers support a variety of field-installable accessories, including auxiliary switches, alarm switches, and shunt trips. These accessories can be added to customize the breaker for specific control panel or power distribution applications.
Can this 25A breaker be loaded to its full continuous current rating?
Per the NEC, standard thermal-magnetic circuit breakers like the BJA160255 should be applied continuously at up to 80% of their rating (20 amps). A 100% rating requires specific enclosure sizes and 90 degrees C rated wire.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the BJA160255?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the thermal (overload) and instantaneous (short-circuit) sensing elements are factory-calibrated and cannot be adjusted in the field.
How does the BJA160255 handle short-circuit faults?
PowerPacT B-frame breakers feature dual-break rotating contacts that reduce the amount of peak current during a short-circuit fault. This design limits let-through currents, enhancing overall equipment protection.
What does the "J" in the BJA160255 catalog number signify?
In the PowerPacT B-frame nomenclature, the "J" indicates the interrupting rating tier. For this 1-pole breaker, it signifies a high interrupting capacity of 100kAIC at 240VAC.
