Built for robust industrial power distribution, the Square D BDA260701 is a 2-pole, 70A molded case circuit breaker from the PowerPacT B-Frame family. It features an AB phase configuration and plugs seamlessly into I-Line panelboards or switchboards. Designed to replace older FA26070AB models, this unit delivers reliable long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions with an 18kAIC rating at 480V. The breaker is HACR rated for air conditioning loads and includes a Visi-Trip indicator.
Can the BDA260701 replace older Square D FA or FH series circuit breakers?
Yes. The PowerPacT B-frame is the direct replacement for legacy FA and FH series breakers. The BDA260701 fits into the same I-Line panelboard mounting space, making retrofits straightforward.
What type of panelboards accept the BDA260701 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features a plug-on I-Line connection on the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the load lugs on this breaker?
The load side mechanical lugs accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG wire and are rated for both aluminum and copper conductors.
What does the D in the BDA260701 catalog number signify?
The D indicates the interrupting rating class of the PowerPacT B-frame breaker. For this model, it provides a 25kA interrupting rating at 240VAC and 18kA at 480VAC.
Is the BDA260701 rated for use in DC electrical systems?
Yes, this thermal magnetic circuit breaker is rated for DC applications and provides a 10kA interrupting rating at 250VDC.
Are the trip settings on the BDA260701 adjustable?
No. This breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit, meaning the long-time and instantaneous trip functions cannot be adjusted in the field.
How does the I-Line connection mount to the panelboard?
The breaker uses a shrouded plug-on jaw on the line side that snaps directly onto the I-Line bus, eliminating the need for line-side wire terminations and speeding up installation.

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!
