Engineered for heavy-duty distribution, the BGA24100Y2 is a 100-amp, 2-pole PowerPacT B-Frame MCCB by Square D. It provides robust thermal-magnetic protection for commercial and industrial facilities. Designed to mount into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, this model effectively replaces the older FA24100AC breakers. It features an AC phase connection, a 35 kAIC rating at 480Y/277V, and current-limiting dual-break rotating contacts to minimize peak current during faults.
This breaker is designed for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line plug-on connection for the line side and lugs for the load side.
Can I use the BGA24100Y2 to replace older FA series breakers?
Yes, the BGA24100Y2 is a direct replacement for the legacy FA24100AC circuit breaker. It provides an upgraded PowerPacT B-Frame footprint while maintaining system compatibility in existing I-Line panels.
What does the Y2 suffix mean in the BGA24100Y2 catalog number?
The Y2 suffix indicates an AC phase connection for the I-Line plug-on mounting system. This determines which bus bars the breaker connects to within the panelboard.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the load lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed load lugs accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
What does the G stand for in the BGA frame designation?
The G indicates the interrupting rating tier within the Square D PowerPacT B-Frame family. For this model, it provides a 35 kA interrupting capacity at 480Y/277VAC and 65 kA at 240VAC.
Does this breaker require a separate mounting bracket for installation?
No, the BGA24100Y2 features an integrated I-Line plug-on design. It ratchets directly onto the bus stack of an I-Line panelboard using a screwdriver, requiring no additional mounting hardware.
What type of trip unit is included in the BGA24100Y2?
It includes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection functions. It also features a push-to-trip button and a visual trip indicator for simplified maintenance and troubleshooting.
