The BGA36020 is a 3-pole, 20A molded case circuit breaker from Square D's PowerPacT B-Frame series. Built for industrial applications, it delivers reliable long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. Engineered for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, this breaker utilizes a shrouded plug-on line connection. It serves as an exact replacement for the legacy FA36020. Rated 35kAIC at 480VAC, it ensures robust fault clearing. Features include a Visi-Trip indicator and HACR certification.
What type of enclosures or panels accept the BGA36020 breaker?
This unit is specifically designed for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in standard QO load centers, NQ panels, or non-I-Line commercial panelboards.
How does this breaker mount to the panelboard bus?
It utilizes an I-Line style plug-in connection. The line-side jaws press directly onto the panelboard bus stack, requiring no separate mounting hardware or cable connections on the line side.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the BGA36020 lugs?
The standard factory load-side lugs accept conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG. The terminals are rated for use with both aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) wire.
Can the trip curve or amperage be adjusted on this specific model?
No. The BGA36020 features a thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time (thermal) and fixed instantaneous (magnetic) trip points. There are no adjustable dials on this breaker.
Is this circuit breaker rated for direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, alongside its AC ratings, this breaker is certified for DC applications up to 250VDC. It provides a 20kAIC interrupting capacity when applied in 250VDC systems.
What product family does the BGA36020 belong to?
This breaker is part of the modern Schneider Electric PowerPacT B-Frame series. It serves as the current-generation replacement for older legacy Square D frames in 20A, 3-pole I-Line applications.
