Product FAQs
8 answersWhat panels are compatible with the BDA160205 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features a plug-in style mounting on the line side and cannot be used in standard QO or Homeline load centers.
Which phase is the BDA160205 configured for?
This specific 1-pole I-Line breaker is factory-configured for a Phase C connection on the panelboard bus.
Can the BDA160205 replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame series is the designated replacement for legacy Square D F-frame breakers. The BDA160205 can directly replace the discontinued FA14020C 1-pole breaker, maintaining the same 1.5-inch pole width to simplify substitution without needing blank fillers.
What does the D in the BDA160205 part number signify?
In the PowerPacT B-frame nomenclature, the D indicates the interrupting rating tier. For this frame, a D-rated breaker provides an 18 kA interrupting capacity at 480Y/277VAC and 14 kA at 600Y/347VAC.
How is the BDA160205 mounted into the panel?
It utilizes an I-Line style plug-in connection. The line side plugs directly into the busbar of an I-Line panelboard or switchboard, while the load side uses a traditional lug connection for the outgoing wire.
Is this breaker HACR rated?
Yes, the BDA160205 is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
What is the continuous current rating of this breaker?
This is a standard 80 percent rated circuit breaker, meaning the continuous load should not exceed 80 percent of its 20-amp rating (16 amps) for periods longer than three hours.
Does this breaker include a tripped status indicator?
Yes, PowerPacT B-frame breakers feature a visual trip indicator that makes it easy to identify a tripped breaker in a crowded panelboard.
