Built for industrial distribution, the Square D BGA261002 is a 2-pole, 100A PowerPacT B-Frame MCCB delivering precise thermal-magnetic (LI) protection. Designed for seamless integration, this breaker mounts into Square D I-Line panelboards with an AC phase connection. It provides a straightforward upgrade path by replacing older FH26100AC models. With an interrupting capacity of 35kA at 480V, the HACR-rated unit features a trip-free mechanism and quick-make/quick-break contacts.

Product FAQs
6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the BGA261002 circuit breaker?
This PowerPacT B-frame breaker features an I-Line plug-in connection. It is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit standard QO, NQ, or NF series panels.
Can the BGA261002 replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes. The PowerPacT B-frame is the designated replacement for legacy Square D F-frame breakers, including the FA and FH series. It maintains the same I-Line mounting space requirements, allowing it to drop directly into existing panelboards during retrofits or upgrades without modifying the bus.
Do I need to purchase separate load lugs for the BGA261002?
No, this breaker ships with factory-installed mechanical lugs on the load side that accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire. The line side utilizes the standard I-Line plug-in jaw connection.
Can I adjust the trip curve on the BGA261002 for specific loads?
No, this specific model features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides reliable long-time and instantaneous protection but lacks the adjustable dials found on electronic trip units. If you require adjustable settings, you will need a breaker with a Micrologic trip unit.
Can the BGA261002 be used in 250VDC systems?
Yes. While commonly used in AC panelboards, this breaker is also rated for 250VDC applications with a 20kA interrupting capacity. It is suitable for DC systems requiring a 2-pole, 100A configuration.
Does the BGA261002 include a manual testing mechanism?
Yes, PowerPacT B-frame breakers feature an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows electricians to manually trip the breaker to verify the mechanical operation of the trip mechanism during routine maintenance.
