Built to handle demanding electrical loads, this 30A PowerPacT B-frame breaker provides fixed thermal and magnetic (LI) protection. Installation is streamlined for Square D I-Line panelboards thanks to its Phase BC configuration and included load side lugs. It acts as an exact substitute for the obsolete FA26030BC. Boasting a 65kAIC rating at 240V, the breaker is HACR rated and features a non-interchangeable trip unit. Its reverse-feed design accommodates versatile wiring setups.
What types of panels are compatible with the BGA260304 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line style plug-in connection that mounts directly onto the panel bus assembly.
Can the BGA260304 be used to replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame series is the direct replacement for legacy Square D FA and FH series molded case circuit breakers. It maintains the same mounting space dimensions for easy retrofitting in existing I-Line panelboards.
How does the I-Line connection work for installation?
The I-Line design uses a plug-on connection for the line side that snaps directly onto the panelboard busbars, secured by a mounting bracket. This eliminates the need for line-side wire terminations and speeds up installation.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this breaker?
The load-side lugs on the BGA260304 accept aluminum or copper wire ranging from 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG. Because it is an I-Line breaker, the line side plugs directly into the panel bus and does not require wire terminations.
What does the G in the BGA260304 catalog number signify?
The G indicates the breaker interrupting rating tier within the PowerPacT B-frame family. For this model, it provides a 65kAIC rating at 240V, 35kAIC at 480V, and 18kAIC at 600Y/347VAC.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit operate on this breaker?
The fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit provides two levels of protection. The thermal component responds to gradual overloads by heating a bimetallic strip, while the magnetic component responds immediately to severe short circuits.
