How is the BDA36045 installed into a panel?
The line side of the breaker features plug-in jaws that mount directly onto an I-Line panelboard busbar. The load side utilizes mechanical lugs for wire termination.

The D designates the specific interrupting rating tier within the Schneider Electric PowerPacT B-frame family, which corresponds to 18 kA at 480 VAC for this unit.
