Product FAQs

6 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the BDA160305 circuit breaker?

This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It utilizes an I-Line style plug-on connection for the line side and a mechanical lug for the load side.

Can the PowerPacT B-frame replace legacy F-frame I-Line breakers?

Yes. The PowerPacT B-frame series is the designated replacement for legacy Square D FA and FH frame I-Line circuit breakers. It maintains the same mounting space dimensions to simplify retrofits and expansions in existing I-Line panelboards.

How does the BDA160305 connect to the panel bus?

It uses a plug-on I-Line phase connection on the line side to attach directly to the panelboard bus. The load side utilizes a mechanical lug that accepts 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.

What does the D in the BDA160305 catalog number indicate?

The D specifies the interrupting rating tier of the breaker. This model provides a 25kAIC rating at 240VAC, 18kAIC at 480Y/277VAC, and 14kAIC at 600Y/347VAC.

Does the BDA160305 include a manual testing feature?

Yes. All PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers include 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 trip mechanism.

How does the trip unit function on this breaker?

This breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. It provides non-adjustable long-time (thermal) protection for overloads and instantaneous (magnetic) protection for short circuits.
