Product FAQs
8 answersHow is the BDL16030 circuit breaker mounted?
The BDL16030 is a unit-mount circuit breaker. It features traditional back-pan mounting with screws and includes integrated DIN rail mounting capability for installation flexibility in industrial control panels and enclosures.
What does the D in the BDL16030 catalog number signify?
The D indicates the interrupting rating tier of the PowerPacT B-frame. For this 1-pole breaker, the D-rating provides a breaking capacity of 25 kA at 240 VAC, 18 kA at 480Y/277 VAC, and 14 kA at 600Y/347 VAC.
What type of wire terminals are included on the BDL16030?
This breaker comes standard with EverLink lugs on both the line and load ends. These lugs are designed to combat cable creep and maintain a durable, long-term connection for 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG conductors.
Can the BDL16030 be installed in an I-Line panelboard?
No, the BDL16030 is a unit-mount circuit breaker designed for surface or DIN rail mounting. For I-Line panelboards, an I-Line specific B-frame breaker, such as the BDA series, is required.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the BDL16030?
No, the BDL16030 features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time thermal and instantaneous magnetic trip functions are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Does the BDL16030 feature a push-to-trip mechanism?
Yes, all PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers include an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows electricians to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism.
How does the dual-break rotating contact design affect the BDL16030 performance?
The dual-break rotating contacts reduce the amount of peak current during a short circuit fault. This limits let-through currents, which lowers peak energy and enhances overall equipment protection.
Can the PowerPacT BDL16030 replace older Square D legacy breakers?
The PowerPacT B-frame series is the modern replacement for legacy Square D 100A circuit breakers. However, because the B-frame has a smaller footprint and different mounting dimensions, retrofit brackets or panel modifications may be required when replacing older FA or FH series breakers.
