Product FAQs
7 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the BGA160153 circuit breaker?
The BGA160153 is an I-Line style plug-in breaker designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It is not compatible with standard QO, Homeline, NQ, or NF series panelboards.
How does the BGA160153 mount into a panel?
This breaker features an I-Line plug-in connection. The line side mounts directly onto the I-Line bus stack in compatible Square D enclosures and is secured with a retaining screw, while the load side utilizes standard mechanical lugs for wire termination.
What does the "G" in the BGA160153 part number signify?
In the Square D PowerPacT B-Frame nomenclature, the "G" indicates the specific interrupting rating tier. For this unit, the G-tier provides 65kA at 240VAC, 35kA at 480Y/277VAC, and 18kA at 600Y/347VAC.
What wire sizes are accepted by the load lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed load lugs accept both aluminum and copper conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG. Always apply the specific torque values printed on the breaker faceplate during installation to ensure a secure and safe connection.
Can the trip settings be adjusted on the BGA160153?
No, this breaker features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip units. The Long-Time (overload) and Instantaneous (short-circuit) trip thresholds are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Does this breaker provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, the BGA160153 is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker providing standard overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include ground fault (GFCI) or arc fault (AFCI) protection circuitry.
Can I use the BGA160153 to replace an older FA series breaker?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-Frame series is the modern replacement for legacy Square D FA and FAL frame breakers. The BGA160153 can serve as a direct upgrade for older 15A, 1-pole FA I-Line breakers.
