The BDL26060 is a 60-amp, two-pole molded case circuit breaker from Square D's PowerPacT B-Frame family. Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, it provides reliable thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection. This unit-mount breaker installs into standard enclosures and features an integrated DIN rail adapter. It serves as an exact replacement for legacy FAL26060 breakers. Rated for 18 kAIC at 480VAC, it includes patented EverLink lugs that mitigate the effects of wire creep.
Unit mount means this breaker is designed to be installed on a standard backpan using screws or mounted directly to a 35 mm DIN rail. It is not compatible with I-Line panelboards.
What type of lugs are included with this breaker?
The BDL26060 comes factory-equipped with EverLink creep-compensating lugs on both the line and load sides. These lugs are designed to maintain consistent torque and prevent wire loosening over time.
What is the recommended torque for the EverLink lugs on this 60A breaker?
For 14 AWG to 4 AWG wire, the tightening torque is 44.3 lb-in (5 N.m). For 3 AWG to 3/0 AWG wire, the torque is 79.7 lb-in (9 N.m).
What do the letters "BDL" stand for in the part number?
In the PowerPacT B-Frame series, 'B' indicates the frame size, 'D' specifies the interrupting rating tier, and 'L' indicates that the breaker has unit-mount lugs on both the line and load ends.
Can the BDL26060 replace an older FAL26060 breaker?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-Frame is the modern replacement for legacy F-Frame breakers like the FAL26060. However, because the physical dimensions differ, you may need a conversion kit or adapter plate to retrofit it into an existing FA enclosure or panel.
Is this breaker suitable for DC applications?
Yes, the BDL26060 is dual-rated for AC and DC systems. It has a maximum DC voltage rating of 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10kA.
Can I adjust the trip settings on the BDL26060?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time (overload) and instantaneous (short-circuit) trip functions are factory-set and non-adjustable.
Can I install this breaker in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No, the BDL26060 is a unit-mount breaker with lugs on both ends. For an I-Line panelboard, you need a BDA, BGA, or BJA breaker equipped with an I-Line plug-on jaw connection.
Does this breaker support field-installable accessories?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-Frame supports a variety of field-installable accessories, including shunt trips, auxiliary switches, undervoltage releases, and rotary handles.
