Product FAQs
5 answersDoes the BDA261001 replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame series is the direct replacement for legacy Square D F-frame breakers. The BDA261001 replaces older 100A, 2-pole FA and FH series I-Line breakers, such as the FA26100AB, and fits into the exact same mounting space.
What does the '1' at the end of the BDA261001 catalog number indicate?
In the PowerPacT B-frame I-Line nomenclature, the '1' suffix indicates that the breaker is factory-configured with an AB phase connection for the panelboard bus.
How does the BDA261001 connect to the panelboard?
This breaker utilizes the Square D I-Line mounting system. The line side features a shrouded plug-on jaw that connects directly to the panelboard bus, while the load side uses traditional mechanical lugs for wire termination.
Does the BDA261001 include a manual trip testing feature?
Yes, all PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers include an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows electricians to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism.
How does the BDA261001 handle short-circuit fault currents?
PowerPacT B-frame breakers are equipped with dual-break rotating contacts. This design rapidly repels the contacts during a short circuit, extinguishing the fault current before it can fully develop and reducing peak let-through energy.
