Product FAQs
7 answersWhat is the modern replacement for the obsolete Square D FA14015A circuit breaker?
The PowerPacT B-Frame BDA160151 is the direct, factory-designated replacement for legacy 1-pole F-Frame breakers like the FA14015A and FA12015A. It maintains the same 1.5 inch per pole width for I-Line applications, allowing for a seamless retrofit into existing panelboards without the need for blank fillers or adapter kits.
What does the "1" at the end of the BDA160151 catalog number indicate?
The final "1" in the part number indicates that this 1-pole I-Line circuit breaker is factory-configured specifically for a Phase A connection on the panelboard bus.
What does the "D" in the BDA160151 part number represent?
The "D" designates the interrupting rating tier within the PowerPacT B-Frame family. For this specific model, the D-tier provides a 25kAIC rating at 240VAC, an 18kAIC rating at 480Y/277VAC, and a 14kAIC rating at 600Y/347VAC.
Which panelboards accept the BDA160151 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features a shrouded I-Line plug-on jaw on the line side and a mechanical lug on the load side.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the load lug on this 15A B-Frame breaker?
For 14 AWG to 10 AWG wire, torque the lug to 31.9 to 38.9 lb-in (3.6 to 4.4 N.m). For 8 AWG to 2/0 AWG wire, increase the torque to 44.3 to 54.9 lb-in (5.0 to 6.2 N.m).
Can the BDA160151 be used in DC voltage applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is dual-rated for AC and DC systems. It provides a 10kA interrupting rating at 125VDC, making it suitable for specific direct current control or distribution circuits.
Does the BDA160151 feature adjustable trip settings?
No, this 15A breaker utilizes fixed thermal (overload) and fixed magnetic (short-circuit) trip elements. However, it does include an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover to manually verify the mechanical operation of the tripping mechanism.
