Product FAQs
7 answers
What older Square D circuit breaker does the BDA24070Y2 replace?
The BDA24070Y2 is a PowerPacT B-frame circuit breaker that serves as a direct replacement for the obsolete FA24070AC and other legacy F-frame (FA and FH) breakers. It fits into the same I-Line panelboard space without requiring panel modifications.
What does the Y2 suffix mean in the BDA24070Y2 part number?
The Y2 suffix indicates an AC phase connection. This means the 2-pole breaker connects to the A and C phases when installed in a 3-phase I-Line panelboard or switchboard.
What type of panelboards will accept this breaker?
This breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection on the line side. It is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
What does the D in the BDA frame designation stand for?
The D indicates the interrupting capacity level of the breaker. For the PowerPacT B-frame, the D-interrupting rating provides 18kA at 480VAC and 25kA at 240VAC.
What wire sizes are compatible with the load lugs on this breaker?
The load side lugs accept aluminum or copper wire ranging from 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG.
Does this breaker feature current-limiting technology?
Yes, PowerPacT B-frame breakers are equipped with dual-break rotating contacts that reduce the amount of peak current during a short circuit fault, providing current-limiting performance.
How can I manually test the mechanical operation of this breaker?
All PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers include an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. Pressing this button manually trips the breaker to verify the mechanical linkage is functioning properly.

Installed & working
Ordered this from SuperBreakers when local vendors were quoting me 25%+.
So I got a refurbished version of this breaker.
It is installed and working.
Also, service was great.
Thank you SuperBreakers!
