Product FAQs
8 answersHow is the BDL16020 circuit breaker mounted?
This unit-mount B-frame breaker can be installed using traditional back-pan mounting with screws or snapped directly onto a standard 35mm DIN rail for flexible installation in control panels and enclosures.
What type of wire terminals are included on the BDL16020?
This breaker features patented EverLink lugs on both the line and load ends. These lugs are designed to maintain a constant pressure on the wire, reducing the risk of cables loosening over time.
What wire sizes are compatible with the lugs on this breaker?
The EverLink lugs on the BDL16020 accept aluminum or copper wire ranging from 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG.
What does the D in the BDL16020 catalog number indicate?
The D signifies the interrupting rating level for this PowerPacT B-frame breaker. It provides a breaking capacity of 25kA at 240VAC, 18kA at 480Y/277VAC, and 14kA at 600Y/347VAC.
Can the BDL16020 be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is dual-rated for AC and DC applications, featuring a 10kA interrupting rating at 125VDC.
Is the Schneider Electric BDL16020 the same as the Square D BDL16020?
Yes. Square D is a brand owned by Schneider Electric, and the PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers are sold under both brand names using the exact same BDL16020 catalog number.
Can the BDL16020 replace older FAL series breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame series is designed as a modern, compact upgrade and can serve as a replacement for legacy FAL16020 1-pole breakers in many unit-mount applications.
