Product FAQs

7 answers
What legacy Square D circuit breakers does the BDA36125 replace?

The PowerPact B-frame series is the direct modern replacement for legacy Square D F-frame breakers. The BDA36125 specifically replaces 125-amp, 3-pole FA and FH series I-Line breakers, maintaining the exact same mounting footprint for simple retrofits.

What is the difference between the BDA36125 and BDL36125 circuit breakers?

The difference lies in the connection type. The BDA36125 has an I-Line plug-in connection on the line side for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. The BDL36125 features standard lugs on both the line and load sides for unit-mount applications.

Can the BDA36125 be installed in an older I-Line panelboard?

Yes. PowerPact B-frame I-Line breakers like the BDA36125 are backwards compatible with existing Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. They do not require any panel modifications to install.

What type of load-side terminals are equipped on the BDA36125?

The load side of this breaker is equipped with Square D patented EverLink lugs. These creep-compensating lugs maintain constant pressure on the conductor, preventing loose connections caused by thermal cycling. They accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.

What do the letters in the BDA36125 catalog number indicate?

In the PowerPact nomenclature, "B" indicates the B-frame size. "D" designates the interrupting rating tier, which is 18kA at 480VAC. "A" specifies the I-Line plug-in mounting style on the line side.

Is the BDA36125 rated for 80 percent or 100 percent continuous duty?

This breaker is standard-rated for 80 percent continuous duty. To comply with typical National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, continuous loads on this 125-amp breaker should not exceed 100 amps.

Can field-installable accessories be added to this breaker?

Yes. The PowerPact B-frame design supports a flexible range of field-installable accessories, including auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, and undervoltage releases. These accessories can be added without voiding the UL listing of the breaker.
