Product FAQs
8 answers
What type of mounting does the BDL26080 circuit breaker use?
The L in the BDL26080 catalog number indicates it is a unit-mount breaker with lugs on both the line and load ends. It is designed for back-pan installation and also features integrated DIN rail mounting capabilities.
Can the BDL26080 be used to replace older Square D F-frame breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame BDL26080 is the official manufacturer cross-reference for replacing obsolete 80-amp, 2-pole FAL26080 circuit breakers. It is designed to the same 1.5-inch per pole width as the legacy F-frame to simplify substitution.
What type of lugs are included with this PowerPacT B-frame breaker?
This breaker comes equipped with patented EverLink mechanical lugs. These lugs are designed to combat cable creep, compensate for wire strand deformation, and maintain a secure connection over time.
What does the D in the BDL26080 catalog number indicate?
In the PowerPacT B-frame nomenclature, the D signifies the interrupting rating tier. For this breaker, it indicates a maximum interrupting capacity of 18kA at 480VAC and 25kA at 240VAC.
Is the BDL26080 suitable for reverse feeding?
Yes, standard unit-mount PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers feature sealed thermal-magnetic trip units and are fully capable of being reverse fed without any reduction in performance.
Can I install the BDL26080 in an I-Line panelboard?
No, the BDL26080 is a unit-mount breaker with lugs on both ends. For I-Line panelboards, you would need a BDA or BGA series breaker, which features the required plug-on I-Line connections on the line side.
How does the BDL26080 handle short-circuit faults?
PowerPacT B-frame breakers are equipped with dual-break rotating contacts. This design rapidly repels the contacts during a short circuit, significantly reducing peak let-through currents and enhancing overall equipment protection.
Is this breaker rated for use in DC electrical systems?
Yes, the BDL26080 is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, with a maximum interrupting capacity of 10kA at that voltage.
