Product FAQs

8 answers
How does the BDA261002 connect to the panelboard?

This breaker features an I-Line style shrouded plug-on jaw for the line side connection, allowing for quick integration into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.

How are the load side connections configured on the BDA261002?

While the line side uses an I-Line plug-on connection, the load side is equipped with mechanical lugs designed to accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.

Which legacy circuit breaker does the BDA261002 replace?

The BDA261002 is the direct modern replacement for the obsolete Square D FA26100 I-Line circuit breaker.

Is the BDA261002 rated for 100 percent continuous duty?

No, this is a standard-rated circuit breaker. Per NEC guidelines, it is designed to be applied continuously at up to 80 percent of its 100A rating.

Is the BDA261002 suitable for DC power systems?

Yes, in addition to AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity.

Can the trip curve be adjusted on the BDA261002?

No, this breaker is equipped with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit trip functions are factory set and non-adjustable.

Does the BDA261002 include a manual testing feature?

Yes, PowerPacT B-frame breakers feature an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover, allowing you to manually trip the breaker and verify the mechanical operation.

How does the BDA261002 handle high short-circuit currents?

It utilizes dual-break rotating contacts that reduce the amount of peak let-through current during a short-circuit fault, helping to limit system stress and equipment damage.

    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!
