Schneider Electric BDA140353 1 Pole Circuit Breaker
The Schneider Electric BDA140353 is a 1 Pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 35 Amps and a voltage rating of 480Y/277VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 25kAIC at 240VAC. The BDA140353 has an I-Line mounting type and includes long time and instantaneous trip functions.
What panelboards are compatible with the BDA140353 circuit breaker?
The BDA140353 is an I-Line style plug-in circuit breaker designed for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It is part of the PowerPacT B-frame series, which is engineered to integrate seamlessly into existing I-Line distribution equipment.
Can the BDA140353 replace older FA or FH series breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame series is designed to replace legacy FA and FH molded case circuit breakers in Square D I-Line panelboards. They fit into the exact same mounting space, making retrofits and panel expansions straightforward.
Is the BDA140353 rated for continuous operation at 100 percent of its current rating?
No, this standard PowerPacT B-frame circuit breaker is rated for continuous loading at up to 80 percent of its 35-amp rating, in accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.
What is the interrupting capacity (AIC) of this breaker at 480Y/277VAC?
While the primary interrupting rating is 25kAIC at 240VAC, the BDA140353 provides an interrupting capacity of 18kAIC when applied to 480Y/277VAC systems.
Does the BDA140353 feature a push-to-trip mechanism?
Yes, all PowerPacT circuit breakers include an integral push-to-trip button on the cover. This allows electricians to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism during maintenance.
How does the dual-break rotating contact design benefit the electrical system?
PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers utilize dual-break rotating contacts that reduce the amount of peak current during a short circuit fault. This design lowers let-through currents, enhancing overall equipment protection.
Can this breaker be mounted on a DIN rail?
No, the BDA140353 is an I-Line style plug-in circuit breaker designed exclusively for group mounting in I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It is not a unit-mount breaker and cannot be installed on a DIN rail or standard back-pan.
