Product FAQs
8 answers
What panelboards accept the BDA260601 circuit breaker?
It is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. As a PowerPacT B-Frame breaker, it mounts directly onto the I-Line bus structure.
Does the PowerPacT B-Frame replace older Square D legacy breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-Frame is the designated replacement for legacy Square D F-Frame (FA and FH) circuit breakers. It offers increased capacity in a smaller footprint while maintaining the same I-Line mounting space to ease retrofits.
What does the 1 at the end of the BDA260601 catalog number indicate?
The 1 suffix indicates an AB phase connection for the I-Line bus. This means the 2-pole breaker will draw power from the A and B phases of the panelboard.
What is the wire size and torque specification for the BDA260601 lugs?
The load-side mechanical lugs accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire. The required tightening torque is 31.9 to 38.9 lb-in for 14 to 10 AWG wire, and 44.3 to 54.9 lb-in for 8 to 2/0 AWG wire.
Can the BDA260601 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, with a DC interrupting rating of 10kA.
What does the D in the BDA prefix signify?
In the PowerPacT B-Frame nomenclature, the D indicates the interrupting rating class. For this breaker, the D-class provides an 18kA interrupting rating at 480VAC and 25kA at 240VAC.
Are the trip settings on the BDA260601 adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection that cannot be field-adjusted.
How does the I-Line connection work on this breaker?
The BDA260601 features an I-Line style plug-in connection on the line side (ON end) that snaps directly onto the panelboard bus, and mechanical lugs on the load side (OFF end) for wire termination.

Ordered this from SuperBreakers when local vendors were quoting me 25%+.
So I got a refurbished version of this breaker.
It is installed and working.
Also, service was great.
Thank you SuperBreakers!
