Part of the PowerPacT B-frame family, this 15-amp molded case circuit breaker provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for commercial and industrial electrical systems. It features a dedicated Phase A connection for precise load distribution. The unit mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It serves as a modern, upgraded replacement for legacy FA14015A breakers, utilizing the same footprint. Rated at 65 kAIC at 240V, it handles substantial fault currents with ease.
What panelboards are compatible with the BGA160151 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line plug-in connection that mounts directly to the panel's busbar system.
How does the I-Line mounting system work for this breaker?
The I-Line connection uses a plug-in design where the breaker's jaws engage directly with the panelboard busbars. This allows for faster installation and eliminates the need for separate strap kits or mounting hardware.
Can the BGA160151 be used in direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 125VDC, where it provides a 20kA interrupting capacity.
What does the "G" in the BGA prefix indicate for this breaker?
In the PowerPacT B-Frame catalog number, the "G" designates the interrupting rating tier. For this breaker, it indicates a maximum interrupting capacity of 65kA at 240VAC and 18kA at 600Y/347VAC.
What is the difference between the BGA160151 and other PowerPacT B-Frame breakers?
The BGA160151 specifically features an I-Line plug-in mounting connection (indicated by the "A" in the prefix) and a "G" tier interrupting rating. Other B-Frame breakers may use unit-mount lugs (such as the BGL series) or have different interrupting capacities.
What wire sizes are accepted by the load-side lug on the BGA160151?
The mechanical lug on the load side (OFF end) of this breaker accepts aluminum or copper wire ranging from 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG. The line side (ON end) utilizes the I-Line plug-in connection.
