Product FAQs

4 answers
Is the BDA36045 a replacement for older Square D breakers?

Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame series replaces legacy F-frame breakers. This specific model serves as a direct drop-in replacement for the obsolete FA36045, fitting into the same I-Line panelboard space.

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.

What does the D in the BDA36045 catalog number indicate?

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.

What does the LI trip function code mean?

The LI code indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time overload protection and Instantaneous short-circuit protection. Both the thermal and magnetic trip points are fixed on this breaker.
