The BDL26020 is a 2-pole, 20A thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker from Square D's PowerPact B-frame lineup. It features patented EverLink lugs that mitigate cable creep for a durable connection. Designed as a space-saving unit mount solution, it fits seamlessly into industrial control panels and switchboards. It serves as a modernized replacement for legacy FAL26020 breakers, matching the 1.5-inch per pole width. Rated for 18 kAIC at 480VAC, it provides robust LI protection.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What enclosures or panels are compatible with the BDL26020 circuit breaker?
This unit-mount breaker is designed for installation on a back pan using screws or on a standard 35x15mm symmetrical DIN rail. It is commonly used in industrial control panels, switchboards, and motor control centers.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the lug terminals on the BDL26020?
The EverLink lugs require 44.3 lb-in of torque for 14 AWG to 4 AWG wire, and 79.7 lb-in for 3 AWG to 3/0 AWG wire.
Can the BDL26020 breaker be reverse fed?
Yes, PowerPacT B-frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers can be supplied from either the top or the bottom without any reduction in performance.
What do the letters BDL indicate in the BDL26020 catalog number?
The letter B designates the PowerPacT B-frame family. The D indicates the interrupting rating tier, and the L specifies that it is a unit-mount breaker with lugs on both the line and load ends.
Does this breaker provide GFCI or equipment ground-fault protection?
No, the BDL26020 is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker providing long-time and instantaneous trip functions for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include built-in ground-fault protection.
What type of contact mechanism does the BDL26020 use?
All PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers are equipped with dual-break rotating contacts that reduce the amount of peak current during a short-circuit fault, enhancing equipment protection.
