Built for heavy-duty commercial applications, the Square D BDA34125Y is a 125A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from the PowerPacT B-Frame series. It delivers dependable thermal-magnetic (LI) protection to prevent equipment damage from overloads and short circuits. Designed for seamless integration, it installs into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. The breaker features an 18kAIC rating at 480Y/277VAC, Visi-Trip indication, and load-side lugs for 14 to 2/0 AWG wire.
What panels are compatible with the BDA34125Y circuit breaker?
This breaker is built exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and I-Line switchboards. It features a plug-on line connection and mechanical lugs on the load side.
Can the PowerPacT B-Frame replace older F-Frame I-Line breakers?
Yes. The PowerPacT B-Frame is the direct replacement for legacy F-Frame models like the FA and FH series. Because both 3-pole frames require 4.5 inches of I-Line mounting space, retrofitting is straightforward.
How much mounting space does this 3-pole breaker require in an I-Line panel?
The BDA34125Y utilizes 4.5 inches of vertical mounting space on the I-Line bus.
What does the Y suffix in the BDA34125Y catalog number mean?
The Y indicates an ABC phase connection. This means the I-Line jaws plug into the A, B, and C phases on the panelboard bus.
What are the magnetic trip settings for this 125A breaker?
This thermal-magnetic breaker has fixed trip settings. The magnetic short-circuit protection is set to a 1000A hold current and a 1500A trip current.
Can I use this breaker on a standard 480V Delta system?
No. The BDA34125Y has a slash voltage rating of 480Y/277VAC. It is only rated for use on solidly grounded Wye systems where the phase-to-ground voltage does not exceed 277VAC. It cannot be used on ungrounded or corner-grounded 480V Delta systems.
What is the difference between the BDA34125Y and the BGA34125Y?
Both are 125A, 3-pole I-Line breakers, but they have different short-circuit interrupting capacities. The BDA model has a D rating (18kAIC at 480Y/277VAC), while the BGA model features a higher G rating (35kAIC at 480Y/277VAC).
