Square D BDA34060Y Molded Case Circuit Breaker

This breaker mounts exclusively in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It uses an I-Line style plug-on connection that engages directly with the panel bus.

The BDA34060Y is the modern factory replacement for the obsolete F-frame FA34060 circuit breaker. It maintains the same I-Line mounting footprint to allow direct retrofitting in existing Square D panels without modification.

The Y suffix specifies that this 3-pole I-Line breaker is configured with a standard ABC phase connection.

The load side features EverLink lugs, a patented terminal design that maintains constant tension on the conductor. This compensates for wire creep and thermal cycling, preventing loose connections over time, which is especially beneficial when terminating fine stranded wire.

No, this breaker carries a standard 80 percent continuous current rating. To comply with the National Electrical Code, the continuous load on this 60A breaker should not exceed 48 amps.

For 14 AWG to 4 AWG conductors, the EverLink lugs should be torqued to 44.3 lb-in (5 N.m). For 3 AWG to 2/0 AWG conductors, the required torque is 79.7 lb-in (9 N.m). Always verify exact torque values on the manufacturer label prior to installation.

Yes, the BDA34060Y is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
