Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, the Square D BDA260704 is a 2-pole, 70A molded case circuit breaker from the PowerPacT B-Frame family. It installs into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, utilizing a plug-on jaw for the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side. This unit serves as a drop-in replacement for legacy FA26070BC breakers. Rated at 18 kAIC at 480VAC, it provides reliable long-time and instantaneous (LI) thermal-magnetic trip protection.
What panelboards are compatible with the BDA260704?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It uses a plug-on line connection that mounts directly to the I-Line bus interior.
Can the PowerPacT BDA260704 replace older Square D F-Frame breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-Frame series is the manufacturer's designated replacement for legacy F-Frame circuit breakers, such as the FA and FH series. It maintains the same 1.5 inch per pole width to fit existing I-Line panelboard spaces without requiring blank fillers.
How are wire connections made on the BDA260704?
The line side features a shrouded I-Line plug-on jaw that connects directly to the panelboard bus. The load side uses mechanical lugs that accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
What does the "4" at the end of the BDA260704 catalog number indicate?
In Square D I-Line nomenclature, the "4" suffix on a 2-pole breaker indicates a BC phase connection on the panelboard bus.
What does the "D" in the BDA260704 catalog number signify?
In Square D PowerPacT nomenclature, the "D" indicates the interrupting rating tier. For this B-Frame breaker, the D-tier provides an 18kA interrupting rating at 480V and 25kA at 240V.
Is the BDA260704 rated for DC voltage applications?
Yes, this thermal magnetic breaker is dual-rated for both AC and DC systems. It supports up to 600V AC and up to 250V DC, providing a 10kA interrupting rating at 250V DC.
Can the trip settings on the BDA260704 be adjusted?
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 cannot be modified in the field.
Does this breaker include a push-to-trip button?
Yes, PowerPacT B-Frame circuit breakers feature an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows electricians to manually trip the breaker and verify the mechanical operation of the tripping mechanism.

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!
