Product FAQs
7 answers
What legacy Square D circuit breaker does the BDA34090Y replace?
The BDA34090Y serves as a direct replacement for the legacy FA34090 F-frame circuit breaker. The PowerPacT B-frame design maintains the same 1.5-inch per pole width, allowing it to fit into existing I-Line panelboards without requiring blank fillers.
What does the Y suffix indicate in the BDA34090Y catalog number?
The Y suffix designates that this PowerPacT B-frame breaker is rated for use on systems with a maximum nominal voltage of 480Y/277 VAC. It is specifically engineered for Wye systems and must not be used in 480V Delta applications.
What type of phase connection does the BDA34090Y use?
This I-Line circuit breaker is factory-configured for an ABC phase connection. It is designed to plug directly into the corresponding busbar phases within Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
What wire sizes are compatible with the load lugs on the BDA34090Y?
The load-side lugs accept wire gauges from 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG. The terminals are rated for use with both aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) conductors.
Can the BDA34090Y be installed in a standard Square D load center?
No. The BDA34090Y features an I-Line style plug-in connection designed exclusively for commercial and industrial Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in QO or Homeline residential load centers.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the BDA34090Y?
No. This breaker is equipped with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time (thermal) overload protection and instantaneous (magnetic) short-circuit protection thresholds are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Does the BDA34090Y include a visual trip indicator?
Yes, this PowerPacT B-frame breaker features a Visi-Trip indicator. This provides a clear visual confirmation when the breaker has tripped due to an overcurrent or short-circuit event, simplifying troubleshooting in the panel.

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!
