Product FAQs
7 answersWhat legacy Square D circuit breaker does the BDA160301 replace?
The PowerPacT B-Frame BDA160301 is the direct, modernized replacement for the obsolete Square D FA16030 1-pole circuit breaker. It maintains the same I-Line mounting dimensions to easily retrofit into existing panelboards.
Which panelboards are compatible with this PowerPacT B-Frame breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line power distribution panelboards and switchboards. Its I-Line style plug-in connection allows for fast installation directly onto the panelboard bus stack alongside other I-Line breakers.
Can I install this B-Frame breaker in an older panel that currently uses F-Frame breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-Frame was designed by Schneider Electric to replace the legacy F-Frame series. It requires the exact same mounting space dimensions, making it an ideal retrofit for existing I-Line panelboard installations.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the BDA160301?
The factory-installed lugs accept either aluminum or copper conductors ranging from 14 AWG up to 2/0 AWG. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation for a secure connection.
Can this 1-pole breaker be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, the BDA160301 is rated for use in DC applications up to 125VDC, where it provides a 10kA interrupting capacity.
Does this breaker require a specific mounting bracket for I-Line panels?
No additional mounting brackets are required. The BDA160301 features a built-in I-Line plug-in connection that mounts directly to the busbar in compatible Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
What type of trip mechanism does the BDA160301 utilize?
It uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit that provides both long-time overload protection and instantaneous short-circuit protection. Both the thermal and magnetic trip points are fixed and cannot be adjusted in the field.
