What is the recommended lug torque for the BDA160155?
The recommended tightening torque is 31.9 to 38.9 lb-in (3.6 to 4.4 N.m) for 14 to 10 AWG wire, and 44.3 to 54.9 lb-in (5 to 6.2 N.m) for 8 to 2/0 AWG wire.
Can the Square D BDA160155 be reverse fed?
Yes, standard PowerPacT B-frame I-Line circuit breakers feature sealed trip units and are suitable for reverse feeding applications.
What do the letters in the BDA160155 catalog number represent?
In the PowerPacT nomenclature, 'B' stands for the B-frame size, 'D' indicates the interrupting rating class (18kA at 480Y/277VAC), and 'A' specifies the I-Line plug-on mounting style.
Can the BDA160155 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC applications with an interrupting capacity of 10kA at 125VDC, making it suitable for control circuits or small DC loads.
Is the BDA160155 suitable for 277V lighting circuits?
Yes, this 1-pole breaker is rated for 480Y/277VAC systems, making it suitable for 277V commercial lighting and general branch circuit applications. It provides an 18kA interrupting rating at this voltage.
Does this breaker provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, the BDA160155 is a standard thermal magnetic circuit breaker with fixed long time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. It does not include GFCI, EPD, or AFCI protection.
What wire material is compatible with the lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed mechanical lugs accept both aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG.
