Product FAQs

8 answers
Can the PowerPacT BDA140205 replace older Square D F-frame breakers?

Yes, PowerPacT B-frame I-Line circuit breakers are designed to replace legacy FA and FH series breakers in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. They maintain the same mounting space dimensions to allow for easy retrofitting.

What is the recommended tightening torque for the load side lug on the BDA140205?

For the mechanical lug, the required tightening torque is 32 to 39 lb-in (3.6 to 4.4 N.m) for 14 to 10 AWG wire, and 44 to 55 lb-in (5 to 6.2 N.m) for 8 to 2/0 AWG wire.

How does the I-Line mounting work on this circuit breaker?

The BDA140205 features a shrouded I-Line plug-on jaw on the line side that connects directly to the panelboard bus, and a mechanical lug on the load side for wire termination.
