Product FAQs
8 answersWhat type of panelboard is required for the BDA160201?
This breaker requires a Square D I-Line panelboard or switchboard. It utilizes a plug-on jaw for the line side to connect directly to the I-Line bus stack and is not compatible with standard NEMA residential load centers like QO or Homeline.
How are the line and load connections configured on this breaker?
The line side features a proprietary I-Line plug-on jaw that mounts directly to the panelboard bus stack, eliminating the need for line-side wire terminations. The load side uses a mechanical lug that accepts 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
What does the D in the BDA160201 catalog number indicate?
In the Square D PowerPacT B-frame family, the D designates the interrupting capacity tier. For this 1-pole model, it provides 25kA at 240VAC, 18kA at 277VAC, and 14kA at 347VAC.
Can the BDA160201 replace older Square D 1-pole breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame I-Line breakers are the modern replacements for legacy Square D FA and FH frame breakers. They fit into the same I-Line bus architecture and provide upgraded performance.
Are the trip settings on the BDA160201 adjustable?
No, this breaker is equipped with a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The overload and short-circuit protection levels are factory set and cannot be modified in the field.
Is this breaker rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, the BDA160201 carries a DC rating of 125VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, allowing it to be used in industrial DC control and distribution panels.
Can the BDA160201 be used on an ungrounded 480V delta system?
No. This breaker has a slash voltage rating of 600Y/347VAC and 480Y/277VAC. It is only approved for use on solidly grounded wye systems where the line-to-ground voltage does not exceed the lower value. It cannot be used on ungrounded or corner-grounded delta systems.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?
The LI designation stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous protection. The Long-Time function protects the circuit against sustained overloads, while the Instantaneous function provides immediate tripping during high-level short circuits.
