Product FAQs
8 answers
Does the PowerPacT BDM36060 replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame series is the modern replacement for legacy Square D F-frame (FA, FH, FAL, and FHL) circuit breakers. The BDM36060 can be used to upgrade 60A, 3-pole unit-mount applications previously utilizing F-frame breakers.
What is the tightening torque for the lugs on the BDM36060?
For 14 to 4 AWG wire, torque the lugs to 44.25 lb-in (5 N.m). For 3 to 3/0 AWG wire, torque to 79.66 lb-in (9 N.m).
What type of lugs are included with the BDM36060?
This breaker comes equipped with EverLink lugs. This patented technology maintains constant contact pressure on the conductor, which helps prevent tension loss over time, even when using fine stranded wire.
How is the BDM36060 circuit breaker mounted?
The BDM36060 is a unit-mount circuit breaker. It is designed to be backpan mounted or DIN rail mounted in industrial control panels, enclosures, and switchboards, rather than plugging into a busbar system.
Can I install the BDM36060 in a Square D I-Line panelboard?
No. The BDM36060 is a unit-mount breaker with lug terminals. For I-Line panelboards, you need an I-Line version of the PowerPacT B-frame, such as the BDA or BGA series, which features plug-on phase connection jaws.
Is the BDM36060 rated for use in DC circuits?
Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 250VDC. This makes it suitable for ungrounded or grounded DC applications, such as battery systems or solar control panels.
Are field-installable accessories available for this B-frame breaker?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame supports a wide range of field-installable accessories, including shunt trips, undervoltage releases, and auxiliary or alarm switches.
Does the BDM36060 feature a push-to-trip button?
Yes, all PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers include an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows you to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism as part of routine maintenance.
