Schneider Electric BJA160301 1 Pole Circuit Breaker
The Schneider Electric BJA160301 is a 1 Pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 30 Amps and a voltage rating of 600Y/347VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 100kAIC at 240VAC. The BJA160301 has an I-Line style plug-in connection type and includes long time and instantaneous trip functions.
What panelboards are compatible with the BJA160301 circuit breaker?
This PowerPacT B-frame breaker features an I-Line plug-on connection, making it compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It is not designed for standard residential load centers or non-I-Line commercial panels.
Can the BJA160301 replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B series is the direct replacement for legacy Square D FA and FH series breakers. The BJA160301 can replace 30A, 1-pole FA or FH breakers in existing I-Line panelboards, as it maintains the exact same mounting space dimensions.
How is the BJA160301 installed into the panel?
It utilizes an I-Line style plug-in connection on the line side, which mounts directly onto the panelboard bus assembly. The load side features a mechanical lug that accepts 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
Which phase is the BJA160301 configured to connect to in an I-Line panelboard?
The digit 1 at the end of the BJA160301 catalog number indicates it is factory-configured for an A-phase connection on the I-Line bus.
Is this breaker rated for continuous operation at 100 percent of its current capacity?
No, the BJA160301 is a standard-rated breaker. It is rated for continuous operation at 80 percent of its 30A capacity, which equals 24A continuous, in accordance with standard NEC requirements.
What type of trip unit does the BJA160301 use?
It uses a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit. This provides both long-time thermal protection against overloads and instantaneous magnetic protection against short circuits.
Does the BJA160301 include a manual trip feature for testing?
Yes, all PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers are equipped with 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 tripping mechanism.
