What legacy Square D circuit breaker does the BDL36015 replace?
The PowerPacT BDL36015 is the direct, modern replacement for the discontinued legacy F-frame FAL36015 circuit breaker. It offers a smaller footprint and upgraded features while providing the same 15A, 3-pole configuration.
What type of lugs are included on the BDL36015, and what is the required torque?
This breaker features patented EverLink lugs on both the line and load ends, which use creep-compensating technology to prevent cable loosening over time. The recommended tightening torque is 44.3 lbf-in (5 N.m) for 14 to 4 AWG wire, and 79.7 lbf-in (9 N.m) for 3 to 3/0 AWG wire.
Does the BDL36015 support DIN rail mounting?
Yes, the unit-mount construction of the BDL36015 includes an integrated adapter for 35 x 15 mm symmetrical DIN rail mounting, in addition to traditional back pan mounting with screws.
Can I install the BDL36015 in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No, the BDL36015 is a unit-mount breaker designed for control panels and switchboards. For I-Line panelboard installations, you need an I-Line specific breaker with a plug-on jaw connection, such as the BDA36015.
What does the D in the BDL36015 part number signify?
The D indicates the interrupting rating tier within the PowerPacT B-frame family. For this breaker, the D-tier provides a 25 kA interrupting capacity at 240V AC, 18 kA at 480V AC, and 14 kA at 600Y/347V AC.
What type of trip unit is used in the BDL36015?
It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. This provides reliable, tamper-proof protection against overloads (Long-Time) and short circuits (Instantaneous) without requiring field calibration.
What enclosures and equipment are compatible with the BDL36015?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for use in industrial control panels, switchboards, electrical distribution equipment, and dedicated PowerPacT B enclosures.
