Product FAQs
5 answersCan the PowerPacT BGA260501 replace older legacy Square D breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame is the modern replacement for legacy Square D FA and FH series circuit breakers. It fits into the same mounting space in I-Line panelboards, making retrofits and upgrades straightforward.
What does the "1" suffix mean in the BGA260501 catalog number?
The "1" at the end of the part number specifies the phase connection. For this 2-pole I-Line breaker, it indicates that the breaker connects to the A and B phases on the panelboard bus.
How is the BGA260501 installed in a panelboard?
This breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection. The line side features plug-on jaws that attach directly to the I-Line bus, while the load side utilizes mechanical lugs that accept 14 to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
Does the BGA260501 provide adjustable trip settings?
No, this breaker is equipped with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the Long-Time (thermal) and Instantaneous (magnetic) trip functions are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
What is the difference between BGA, BDA, and BJA circuit breakers?
The third letter in the PowerPacT catalog number indicates the interrupting rating. The "G" in BGA signifies a G-interrupting rating, while BDA (D-interrupting) and BJA (J-interrupting) offer different short-circuit interrupting capacities for the same physical frame size.
