Product FAQs
7 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the BKA160201 breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It utilizes an I-Line style plug-in connection that mounts directly to the interior bus assembly.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed lugs accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire. Always verify the correct torque specifications provided by Schneider Electric before finalizing the installation.
Can this breaker be used in DC applications?
Yes, the BKA160201 is rated for use in direct current systems up to 125VDC. In these applications, it provides a 50kA interrupting rating.
What type of protection does the BKA160201 provide?
This breaker features a thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings. It delivers long-time (L) protection for overloads and instantaneous (I) protection for short circuits.
How does the interrupting rating change based on system voltage?
The interrupting rating scales with your system voltage. It provides 100kA of protection at 208Y/120VAC and 240VAC, but drops to 65kA when applied to 480Y/277VAC or 600Y/347VAC systems.
How does the BKA160201 mount into the panel?
It features an I-Line style plug-in connection. This allows the breaker to mount directly onto the busbar of a compatible Square D I-Line panelboard or switchboard, which speeds up installation compared to traditional bolt-on breakers.
Is the BKA160201 part of the PowerPacT B-Frame family?
Yes, this breaker belongs to the Schneider Electric PowerPacT B-Frame family. It shares the same compact footprint and accessory compatibility as other B-Frame circuit breakers.
