Providing reliable circuit protection, the FA24020BC is a 2-pole, 20A molded case circuit breaker. This model features a B-C phase connection for balanced panel loading. The breaker installs into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. As part of the legacy F-frame lineup, it is slated for replacement by the PowerPacT HDA260204. It offers an 18kAIC rating at 480V and utilizes fixed thermal-magnetic trip units for precise long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection.
What type of panelboards are compatible with the FA24020BC circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and I-Line switchboards. It features the I-Line style plug-in connection and will not fit standard load centers or NQ/NF series panelboards.
How does the I-Line mounting system work for this breaker?
The I-Line mounting system uses a plug-in design where the breaker's jaws grip the panelboard busbar directly. A retaining bracket is then secured with a screwdriver to hold the breaker firmly in place, eliminating the need for bolted bus connections.
Can the FA24020BC be used in DC voltage applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC at that voltage. This makes it suitable for specific industrial control and battery systems.
What does the BC suffix mean in the FA24020BC part number?
The BC suffix indicates the breaker's phase connection. It is configured to connect specifically to the B and C phases of the I-Line busbar, which helps in balancing the electrical load across the panelboard.
Is the FA24020BC suitable for reverse feeding?
Standard Square D FA frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers can typically be reverse fed unless they are specifically marked with Line and Load designations. Always verify the physical breaker labeling before reverse feeding in any application.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy FA24020BC circuit breaker?
The FA series is part of Square D's legacy F-frame lineup. For new installations or upgrades, it is typically replaced by the modern PowerPacT B-frame or H-frame series, depending on the specific panelboard requirements.

Great company
Ordered on a Saturday evening, paid for two day shipping and it arrived on time and in perfect condition. Would 100 percent be using this company going forward, beat out pricing and shipping times for all my local supply houses. Plus the staff were great to deal with.

Professional Service
So far, so good! The circuit breaker was installed along with a new compressor for our church AC, and everything is now working well.
The company has been professional, dependable, and reputable throughout the process. I had a question after the installation, and it was answered immediately. I also appreciated that they followed up and asked for feedback to make sure the new part was working properly and that we were satisfied with the service.
It’s refreshing to deal with a company that not only has quality products but also cares about its customers after the job is completed. I would definitely recommend them!

As good as new
The Square D FA32100 circuit breaker (refurbished) was as good as a new breaker, without exception. There was no wear and tear or any marks at all. It was basically new. It is an excellent choice and a great product without having to pay the cost of a new breaker.
